Summary
This is a quick reference guide that summarises the recommendations NICE has made to the NHS in ‘When to suspect child maltreatment' (NICE clinical guideline 89).

This quick reference guide is for all healthcare professionals working in the NHS who work with children and young people. It may also be of interest to people outside of the NHS who work with children and young people.

The guidance was developed by the National Collaborating Centre for Women's and Children's Health, which is linked with the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. The Collaborating Centre worked with a group of healthcare professionals (including paediatricians, GPs and child mental health professionals), people affected by maltreatment, and technical staff, who reviewed the evidence and drafted the recommendations. The recommendations were finalised after public consultation
