Abstract

This is a qualitative study with the aim of developing an understanding of how primary healthcare professionals define child abuse and to identify triggers and barriers to reporting their suspicions. Primary healthcare professionals, the majority of whom were based in a general practice in Haringey, North London, were recruited purposefully to participate in interviews. Eight semi-structured interviews were conducted with two GPs, one nurse, two receptionists, two health visitors and one social worker.
