Abstract
This handbook is intended primarily for front-line health care providers who
are likely to see children (among other clients) in their day-to-day practice.
These may include general practitioners, nurses, midwives, gynaecologists,
paediatricians, mental health professionals, first responders and staff in
emergency care.
Other professionals who may find it useful include social workers, those
working in social welfare institutions, providers of psychosocial support, and
those working in child care facilities and the education system.
Further, the content will benefit the work of policy-makers and managers
to enable and support provision of clinical care to children experiencing, or
who have experienced, child maltreatment.
