Messages from research on identifying and responding to child maltreatment

Safeguarding Children Across Services is an overview of the key messages from fifteen studies in a research programme jointly funded by the Department for Education and the Department of Health, the purpose of which is to strengthen the evidence base for the development of policies and practice to improve the protection of children in England. The studies aim to identify how children might be better safeguarded in three key areas: * identification and initial response to abuse and neglect; * effective interventions after abuse or its likelihood have been identified; and * effective inter-agency and inter-disciplinary working. In each of these areas the research encompasses a specific focus on neglect and emotional abuse.
