Child and adolescent sexual abuse

Synopsis

Paediatric forensic medicine encompasses the medico-legal issues arising from the provision of a medical service to children.

The unit will largely focus on the medical assessment of cases of suspected child sexual abuse.

The aim of this unit is to develop your skills in the evaluation and management of children and adolescents suspected of being sexually abused.

Integral to both evaluation and management will be a knowledge of the relevant legislation, policing and protective agencies, injury patterns, specialised investigative techniques and treatment.
