Abstract

Child abuse and neglect (child abuse) is a common issue that leads to significant health issues. Given the association between child abuse and health, mandatory reporting laws for doctors and nurses were introduced in jurisdictions such as the US, Canada and Australia. However, this legislation is not globally or nationally consistent. Thus, there is confusion surrounding the definition of abuse that should be reported and how to respond when suspicion does not meet the threshold of Child Protection. It is unclear as to how health professionals navigate the response to child abuse in light of this confusion.
