Assessment of Suspected Physical Abuse in Children and Adolescents
25 - 26 August 2025


Deadline Dates:
Registration Open : 24 March 2025
Early Bird Deadline : 7 July 2025
The target audience for the Assessment of Suspected Physical Abuse in Children and Adolescents Training course includes Advanced Trainees and Consultants in Paediatrics or related specialties (including Emergency Medicine and Surgical Specialties) where these cases form (or may form) a part of a doctor’s clinical responsibilities.
 
In 2025, we will hold the course in-person on Monday 25th and Tuesday 26th August 2025. There will also be an option for registrants to attend either face-to-face or virtually. There will be approximately 30-35 hours of online eLearning, which will become available 10 weeks before the live course. We recommend you allocate 3-4 hours per week working your way through the preLearning prior to the course. If unable to do that, consider whether you might be able to take some CME leave for the preLearning, as well as two days for the live course. The preLearning materials (and the recordings of the live sessions) will remain available to you online for 12 months after the course and will be downloadable as high-quality pdf files.
 
The workshop is recognised by the Specialist Advisory Committee in General Paediatrics of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians as a child protection course suitable for advanced trainees in general paediatrics. Trainees from other professional disciplines have also attended the course and found it very helpful.
​
Contributors come from the fields of child protection paediatrics, forensic pathology, paediatric neuroradiology, paediatric ophthalmology, paediatric orthopaedics, paediatric radiology and plastic surgery. In addition, we use an international expert in child protection paediatrics as an external auditor and contributor.
We look forward to your participation.

In the words of Sir James Henare:
“Maha rawa wa tatou mahinga, te kore mahi tonu; tawhiti rawa tō tatou haerenga, te kore haere tonu.”
(We have done too much to not do more, we have come too far to not go further).
