Bruising on Babies

The film provides advice to practitioners about seeking an explanation from the babies carers and what action to take if no explanation is provided or an unlikely or inadequate explanation is given.

The Neglect Toolkit:

In order to assess a parent’s capacity to
meet their child’s needs, it is important in
cases where neglect is suspected to examine
and gain an understanding of both the
current circumstance and the parents’ early
experience. This should form the basis for
any assessment undertaken. This toolkit is
for practitioners to use with parents/carers.
