RCGP/NSPCC Safeguarding Children Toolkit for General Practice Foreword Children and young people are our future and it essential that we do whatever we can to ensure that they are safe and well. As the largest medical royal college in the UK, representing nearly 50,000 family doctors, the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) is pleased to be again working in partnership with the NSPCC to update this essential toolkit to support GPs and their practices in managing this important duty. A quarter of a GP’s patients are under 19 years of age and more children and young people are seen in general practice than in any other part of the health service. As the world changes, our children and young patients increasingly become exposed to new and different risks to their health and well-being. This update comprehensively collates emerging and existing guidance in one place to ensure that general practices across the UK can operate an environment in which all staff feel confident in all their dealings with children and young people. It will also reassure parents, carers and our partner agencies that general practice teams are as up to date as they possibly can be with the latest developments in safeguarding and assure them of our total commitment to promoting the safety and welfare of children and young people. The toolkit is supported by the RCGP training curriculum that all potential GPs of the future must follow, as well as the RCGP Child Health Strategy 2010–15 and the Intercollegiate Guidelines (ICG) for Safeguarding Children and Young People 2014. The health of our young patients is a priority for the RCGP – yet only half of our trainee GPs currently get the opportunity to undertake a specialist paediatric placement during their training. We are currently campaigning to extend GP training from three to four years, with a particular focus on child health and mental health. The latest version of this toolkit adds further weight to our case for why this is necessary and so crucial.

Action on health inequalities requires action across all the social determinants of health’ Sir Michael Marmot (2010) Fair Society, Healthy Lives 1.1 Objectives of the Toolkit This Toolkit aims to provide Practices in the UK with a framework for integrating safeguarding children and young people into existing practice systems and processes for delivering primary care. This is not intended to be a textbook of child safeguarding but a practical workbook for busy GPs and their teams, designed to help Practice staff to recognise when a child may be at risk of abuse, to know what to do if there are concerns and to ensure that as a Practice the team works with other disciplines and agencies to achieve the best possible outcomes for children by safeguarding and promoting their welfare. This 2014 update takes account of new policies, legislation and emerging evidence as well as the constraints of the 10 minute consultation and the pressures of 21st century general practice. It will help ensure that general practices across the United Kingdom operate a safe environment, in which staff possess the knowledge and skills to be comfortable working with children and young people and will reassure parents, carers and our partner agencies that general practices are committed to improving outcomes for children and young people. The Toolkit is devised to support GPs to improve outcomes for children and families by bringing together relevant guidance and information, focusing on good medical practice and signposting to existing safeguarding statutes, policies and tools. There is emphasis on the strong evidence base (Marmot 2010, Allen 2011) which supports the benefits of early identification of adverse factors and early intervention to improve life course. Most families are registered with a General Practice which gives GPs and their Teams a crucial role as possibly the only professionals in a position to identify emerging problems, unmet need and vulnerability in parents and families and to readily engage with pregnant women, infants and pre-school children in need of extra support or recognised as being at risk.

Buckley January 2015 Childbirth Connection A Program of the National Partnership for Women & Families About the National Partnership for Women & Families At the National Partnership for Women & Families, we believe that actions speak louder than words, and for four decades we have fought for every major policy advance that has helped women and families. Today, we promote reproductive and maternal-newborn health and rights, access to quality, affordable health care, fairness in the workplace, and policies that help women and men meet the dual demands of work and family. Our goal is to create a society that is free, fair and just, where nobody has to experi- ence discrimination, all workplaces are family friendly and no family is without quality, affordable health care and real economic security. Founded in 1971 as the Women’s Legal Defense Fund, the National Partnership for Women & Families is a nonprofit, nonpartisan 501(c)3 organization located in Washington, D.C. About Childbirth Connection Programs Founded in 1918 as Maternity Center Association, Childbirth Connection became a core program of the National Partnership for Women & Families in 2014. Throughout its history, Childbirth Connection pioneered strategies to promote safe, effective evidence-based maternity care, improve maternity care policy and quality, and help women navigate the complex health care system and make informed deci- sions about their care. Childbirth Connection Programs serve as a voice for the needs and interests of childbearing women and families, and work to improve the quality and value of maternity care through consumer engagement and health system transformation.

  • T. Berry Brazelton Biography Sketch T
    T. Berry Brazelton Biography sketch T. Berry Brazelton, whose prolific work with newborn infants and parents inspired researchers, clinicians and parents from around the world, died at his home in Barnstable, Cape Cod on March 13, 2018, a few months short of his 100th birthday. He continued to lecture, write, conduct research and was frequently consulted by the news media on everything from parenting, to work-life balance, right up to the end of his life. HMS Dean George Q. Daley wrote that even in the final year of his life, “Dr. Brazelton still had the spirit, spark, and twinkle in his eye of a master pediatrician. His energy and optimism were an inspiration to me. He will be sorely missed.” Thomas Berry Brazelton was born in Waco, Texas on May 10th 1918 and seems to have had a natural ability to understand and relate to young children from a very early age. “I knew by the time I was 8 years old I wanted to be a doctor, a pediatrician”, he said in an interview. “I had to take care of 8 cousins every Sunday while my parents were inside, and I had to learn how to get inside these children’s brains in order to handle 8 small children for about 4 hours. So I learned very early on how to do it and learned how exciting it was. My grandmother would come out and say, ”Oh Berry, you’re wonderful with children,” and it was very exciting to get that kind of praise. I knew then I wanted to grow up and be a doctor, a pediatrician”.
