Safeguarding children ‘an afterthought’ and expertise is ‘spread too thinly’, warn paediatricians

The safety of children is under threat as doctors responsible for safeguarding feel current guidance and the NHS reforms mean resources are inadequate and expertise is spread too thinly, according to a new report by the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH). 

The RCPCH is calling for urgent action to produce national standards and make sure guidelines are robust to ensure vulnerable children don’t fall through the gaps and safeguarding is not just an ‘afterthought’.
