General Medical Council (GMC) publishes doctors’ child protection responsibilities
Protecting children and young people: the responsibilities of all doctors (2012) sets out the child protection responsibilities of all doctors. The guidance includes advice on:
• identifying children and young people at risk of, or suffering, abuse or neglect
• meeting the communication needs of children, young people and parents
• confidentiality and sharing information
• child protection examinations
• giving evidence in court
The guidance comes into effect on 3 September 2012. It makes reference to the intercollegiate report produced in 2010 called Safeguarding Children and Young people: roles and competences for health care staff.
