Child protection: the nurse's role: the fate of Victoria Climbie offers lessons for all health professionals, regardless of their area of practice

Article Abstract:

The death of Victoria Climbie from continual abuse by her caretakers led to an inquiry into reporting by British health care officials who saw earlier injuries and did not report possible child abuse. Nurses and other health care workers need to not only report possible abuse, but should also carefully record any suspicions into the patient record to trigger suspicions about future injuries.
