LAMI-76
Response
Historic
Clearly identify responsible consultant for child protection aspects in deliberate harm cases.
Recommendation
When a child is admitted to hospital with concerns about deliberate harm, a clear decision must be taken as to which consultant is to be responsible for the child protection aspects of the child’s care. The identity of that consultant must be clearly marked in the child’s notes so that all those involved in the child’s care are left in no doubt as to who is responsible for the case.
