520			_aThese WHO guidelines aim to help frontline healthcare providers to recognize children who have suffered from violence and neglect and provide evidence-based first line support. Specifically, the guidelines focus on: - Identification of children who are exposed to abuse or neglect; - Supportive communication with children suspected to be victims of abuse or neglect; - Assessing and addressing the safety of the child; - Interacting with caregivers in suspected cases of child maltreatment; - Providing immediate medical and psychosocial support for children exposed to child maltreatment; - Collecting medical history, conducting physical exams and appropriate documentation of findings. These guidelines complement "Responding to children and adolescents who have been sexually abused: WHO clinical guidelines" (#5635) which were published in 2017. A short practical handbook and training package, which will help to put the recommendations of the two guidelines into practice, are currently being developed. (From the website). Record #6830
