In October 2017, the National Institute for health and Care Excellence (Nice) published new guidelines on how healthcare professionals should deal with issues relating to child abuse and neglect. In England, for example, there are over 11 million children and in 2016 over 50,000 were identified as needing protection from abuse.
It is important to remember that abuse can be physical, sexual and/or emotional.
