#BruisedBabyPolicy This means that a quarter of local authorities’ policies appeared not to follow statutory national guidance whilst still others mislead staff exaggerating risk and making accurate decision making more difficult. 9/11

#BruisedBabyPolicy I found another 28 policies assume any bruise in a premobile child indicates they are suffering or likely to suffer significant harm and call a strategy discussion without the social work assessment required by statutory guidance https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/working-together-to-safeguard-children--2 7/11
