CHILD ABUSE
Guidelines and applications for primary healthcare practitioners
D PRETORIUS, AJ MBOKAZI, KK HLAISE & L JACKLIN
‘Millions of children make their way through life impoverished, abandoned, uneducated, malnourished, discriminated against, neglected and vulnerable. For them, life is a daily struggle to survive.’ — The State of the World’s Children: Unicef, 2006
Sadly, southern Africa is no exception to this statement and all healthcare professionals will see survivors of abuse during their careers. One of the objectives of Child Abuse: Guidelines and Applications for Primary Healthcare Practitioners is to equip healthcare professionals with the knowledge to detect such abuse early.
KEY FEATURES
• Contains a section of colour photographs to help with identifying abuse
• Highlights not-to-be missed information so that significant or key legislative
issues are not overlooked
• Provides guidance on reporting suspected abuse so that healthcare
professionals fully understand their ethical and legal responsibilities
• Explains a thorough, step-by-step approach to the clinical examination and
documentation of abuse, as well as the importance of maintaining the chain of evidence, so that the clinician can be assured the evidence will be admissible should the case lead to prosecution.
SUITABLE FOR
• MBChB students studying primary health care and paediatrics
• Students studying radiography
• Social work students.
