Building Workforce Capacity to Detect and Respond to Child Abuse and Neglect Cases: A Training Intervention for Staff Working in Emergency Settings in Vietnam

The timely detection and appropriate response to cases of child abuse and neglect (CAN) presents a global challenge. Up to seven percent of paediatric injury presentations to emergency care settings are a result of CAN, making the emergency care setting an ideal environment for child abuse detection and management [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]. A widespread situation of under-recognition and under-reporting of abuse in emergency care settings poses a significant challenge to the accurate measurement and interpretation of this phenomenon.
