This webinar is on Thursday 20 February 2025 (join from 3:15pm to allow a prompt start) 3:30pm to 4:30pm.
This is open to all members.
Babies and children under one year of age are particularly vulnerable to serious injury or to dying as a result of abuse or neglect. Accidental bruising is a common injury in children, which can increase as a child becomes more independently mobile. However, bruising is also the most common injury in children who have been abused.
In non-mobile infants bruising is rare. As health visitors reach more families than any other health professional, they can often be the first to identify bruising in a non-mobile infant. While protocols for the assessment and management of bruising in non-mobile infants are available locally to support and guide safeguarding practices, literature suggests wide variations in interpretation.
Join us for this Insights event where we will hear from a panel of experts in the field who will discuss safeguarding policy for the management of bruising, clinical considerations, the management of bruising in health visiting practice and the supportive nature of supervision.
