Protecting children and young people

Child protection decision tool

Protecting children and young people. This guidance sets out the child protection responsibilities of all doctors, physician associates and anaesthesia associates. 

We've developed this tool to help making a decision to share information when you have child protection concerns.

Ready to start?

You'll be asked a series of questions. Each question and endpoint links on to the relevant guidance for you to explore in more detail. You can hover or tap on the 'Related guidance' text at the relevant steps to see the relevant paragraphs from the guidance.

This tool is also available as a PDF download. Download the child protection decision tool pdf
