Form for completion if there is suspected severe physical or sexual abuse

SCENARIOS OF SEVERE CHILD ABUSE

This work includes education sessions in collaboration with our partner ALSG (Advanced Life Support Group) involving skill and scenario based teaching on the recognition of serious physical and sexual abuse as well as ways in which the different professions involved can work in a coordinated way within the legal framework of the country to enable the most effective system of child protection. Details of these courses are placed below and the relevant manual on recognition is available on request (The contents of this manual are regarded as too sensitive to place on our website).

In addition, we have recently been asked by the Pakistan Pediatric Association and Pakistan Child Rights Movement if we could prepare a paper on the institutional care of children in that country. Attached below is a generic version of our report. MCAI are happy to do all we can to help any country wishing to progress work in this difficult area.
