Child Abuse Prevention At Capital And Coast District...

Child Abuse prevention at Capital and Coast District Health Board 1. Purpose of this Briefing Paper This briefing paper aims to introduce a proposal that a nationwide district health board reporting system for suspected Child Abuse be undertaken, with a pilot programme at Capital and Coast District Health Board (CCDHB). This programme would help identify abused children and protect them from further harm. By having a system and reporting template in place, clinicians would be able to quickly identify abused children, provide appropriate care and able to refer these children to community-based agencies if need be. The benefit of a national reporting system would alert clinicians to children who have previously presented with suspected abuse at a hospital outside their DHB catchment area. Clinicians would be able to get a better picture of the circumstances surrounding these children. The goal is that a nationwide district health board reporting system will prevent children from being subject to further harm and that they can receive appropriate care from both health providers and go vernment agencies. 2.

Stephen Flynn (2001) provides a useful illustration of this critical law enforcement problem, referring to the arrival of a hypothetical ship with questionable cargo and a crew on an intelligence watch list for potential terrorist ties: The Coast Guard would be likely to know about the scheduled arrival of a tanker carrying hazardous cargo. The Customs Service might have some advance cargo manifest information.

It is interesting to note that in Figure 1—1 most of the fastest-growing occupations percentagewise are related to information technology or health care. The increase in the technology jobs is due to the rapid increase in the use of information technology, such as databases, system design and analysis, and desktop publishing. The health care jobs are growing as a result of the aging of the U.S. population and workforce, a factor discussed later. Chapter 1 Changing Nature of Human ResourceRead MoreExploring Corporate Strategy - Case164366 Words   |  658 Pagesdiversiï ¬ cation and internationalisation.
