Child abuse is a complex subject and many health care workers and professionals such as teachers and social workers express anxiety regarding their involvement in cases of this nature. There is therefore a need to provide them with enough information to equip them to handle these cases from diagnosis through to giving evidence in court. Inappropriate management of cases of abuse can have serious implications. This book will provide readers of all levels of experience to gain greater insight into their role within the process.
