CORE-INFO

A series of leaflets on aspects of physical and emotional child abuse

These leaflets are based on the Cardiff Child Protection Systematic Reviews - a rolling programme of systematic reviews of published research literature on aspects of physical and emotional child abuse.

CORE-INFO leaflets make the key findings of the systematic reviews and implications for practice accessible to anyone working with children or young people. This is a collaborative project between the Department of Child Health at Cardiff University and the NSPCC.
