Hospital system to help spot child abuse
An online system to identify children who may be in danger of abuse or neglect is being developed for use in hospitals across England.
The £9m Child Protection Information System will alert doctors and nurses in accident and emergency departments if children are known to be at risk or had urgent treatment at other hospitals.
It will be rolled out from 2015.
