13. Scenario- Safeguarding
It is accepted practice that the paediatric consultants in your hospital review all orthopaedic and surgical admissions. You are asked to review the notes of Sophie, aged 18 months who had been admitted the previous afternoon with a fractured humerus.
The history given at the time was that Sophie had been admitted from home having fallen downstairs. She had recently learnt to climb the stairs and although a stair gate was fitted at the top of the stairs, she had been left downstairs unobserved briefly while her mother went upstairs to attend her 3 year old brother who was calling for her. Her mother saw her all from half way up the uncarpeted stairs as she came back down after seeing to the brother. She bought Sophie straight to hospital.
Sophie had had one previous admission with a febrile convulsion at 13 months. There had been on attendance at A&E with a suspicion of paracetamol ingestion but she had not been kept in hospital and no treatment had been required.
Sophie’s parents are in a steady relationship. Father is a taxi driver and mother is a part- time shop assistant on maternity leave after the birth of a 3 month old who was born at 35 weeks gestation and needed to stay in hospital for 10 days after birth.

14. Scenario- areas to be covered
On the basis of the information obtained from the hospital notes what would you do next?
On the basis of currently available information would you instigate Safeguarding/child protection procedures?
What procedures can you put in place to ensure NAI in children attending A&E are not missed?

15. Extension
Discuss other landmark Safeguarding cases with reference to their implication for routine day-to-day practice.
Describe key events around the case of Baby P (Peter). What key messages have emerged for paediatricians from this case?
