  • Recognise when families are distressed or in need of early support

  • Know about indications for investigations in safeguarding including skeletal survey and blood tests
  • Know about child sexual abuse and the system of assessment and follow-up 
  • Know about forensic assessment in child abuse including chain of evidence
