Paediatricians working in a range of clinical settings may encounter children with ano-genital conditions that require effective management. In some cases, there may be indications of suspected sexual assault and it is important that the required safeguarding actions are taken.
This one day in-person course looks at how to effectively examine children with ano-genital presentations, recognise possible signs of abuse and how to keep children at the centre of care.

Target audience
This course is for paediatric resident doctors (ST5-7), SAS and locally employed doctors and consultant paediatricians who are not actively working with children who have experienced suspected sexual assault or are intending to join a CSARC rota.
If you are working within this field, our Child sexual assault and the forensic examination would be more appropriate.
I feel more confident in identifying signs of possible sexual abuse.
