Child and youth protection is one of the core missions of every children’s hospital. That is why there is also an interdisciplinary child protection group at the Children’s Hospital Central Switzerland. The basis for this is the Child and Adult Protection Act.
The child protection group’s task is to recognise and investigate suspected cases of child or youth abuse or neglect. Depending on the situation, this may also involve taking action – always with the aim of protecting the child and enabling positive development. It is important to work together with the child and adult protection authority (KESB) in the patient’s local community.
