Augeo handles its information very carefully and will never make this information available to third parties.
EUSEM, EuSEN and Augeo Foundation, Erasmus MC and Haaglanden MC from The Netherlands have joined forces to work together on improving the knowledge on child abuse and neglect and implementation of tools in order to detect more victims of family maltreatment at the EDs in Europe.
This survey aims to get insight into the different
policies to recognize child abuse at the emergency
departments (EDs) in Europe. We like to learn from
the different strategies at EDs and aim to develop
a combined strategy for early detection
(screening) and e-learning customized for different
settings.
In the survey we focus on two ways to detect child
abuse:
• based on child characteristics: child injuries,
behavior
• based on parental characteristics (the so called
'child check', a new and successful method in The
Netherlands).
Topics: Use of protocols and screening tools,
riskgroup identification, Existence of training
programmes, Presence of a Child abuse working
and Child abuse and neglect policy officer,
Collaboration with Child Protective Services,
Registration and monitoring of suspicious cases.
Thank you in advance!
