520 _aAim: To describe the multi‐disciplinary child protection teams which administer the National Child Protection Alert System in District Health Boards in New Zealand and the understanding and perceptions of that system held by team members. Methods: This is a mixed‐method observational study. In December 2016 and January 2017, all child protection alert system multi‐disciplinary team members were invited to participate in an online survey. Quantitative data were expressed with simple descriptive statistics. Qualitative findings were analysed using thematic analysis. Results: Ninety‐one (56.9%) of 160 team members nationwide completed the survey. All 20 District Health Boards and multiple disciplines were represented. Most respondents agreed that they received good information to make decisions (74/90, 82.2%), that it was usually easy to reach consensus (82/91, 90.1%), that the system helped to keep children safe (72/91, 79.1%) and that it did not stigmatise families (49/91, 53.9%). Qualitative analysis identified considerable variation in understanding of the system and a need for more training to support more consistent implementation of the system. Conclusions: Overall, health professionals responsible for the child protection alert system regard it positively but express a need for more training for team members and front‐line staff to maximise the system's potential and minimise any risk of stigmatisation.
