Head and spinal injuries in children

NSPCC and the Welsh Child Protection Systematic Review Group

Our CORE-INFO leaflet summarises what is currently known about the clinical presentation of inflicted head and spinal injuries in children

Head and spinal injuries in children (PDF, 608KB) is based on a systematic review of all the quality work in the world literature about inflicted head and spinal injuries in children. It will be of particular interest to health, social care and legal professionals.

This is one of a series of information leaflets on aspects of physical child abuse based on a collaborative project by the NSPCC and the Welsh Child Protection Systematic Review Group at the Department of Child Health, Cardiff University. For further information visit www.core-info.cardiff.ac.uk.
