Abstract
In the 2 years following the implementation in Liverpool [England] of a case conference system for dealing with non-accidental injury to children, 76 children were discussed at 73 such conferences. Factors in both the children and their families were identified as predisposing to non-accidental injury, notable male sex, illegitimacy, low birthweight, previous injuries in the children, the mothers having become pregnant at an early age and the families having environmental stress factors. The evolving role of the case conference system in providing support for affected families was discussed.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
