Approximately 4% of notifications of child abuse to child protection services in Australia are made by medical practitioners, but under reporting has been identified in a study reviewing patients who presented with fractures to an emergency department with many cases of child harm being missed . One reason attributed to this under-reporting includes concerns about making a notification due to patient confidentiality, breakdown in clinician/patient relationships, implications if clinicians “got it wrong”, notification worsening the situation. This topic can be quite confrontational and confusing, but an important area for us all to have a good understanding of our responsibilities. This includes the skills to assess and manage these presentations safely to provide appropriate support and comfort and assist in protecting the child as well as reporting without fear of criticism or reprisal.
