GMC calls for evidence on doctors' role in child protection

The General Medical Council (GMC) is calling for evidence on the roles and responsibilities of doctors in child protection work.

The GMC hopes the evidence will help it to understand the difficulties doctors can face and identify areas where additional guidance would be of value. Open until 24 September, the call for evidence is aimed at children and young people, their families and carers, other health professionals, social workers, police and lawyers.
