The article reviews Great Britain's child protection training uptake and child protection awareness in a district general hospital and suggests ways to improve this practice. It utilizes the journal articles "What To Do if You Are Worried a Child is Being Abused," from the Department of Health, and "Working Together to Safeguard Children" from the Department of Education and Skills, and discusses how these reports relate to the development of improved staff training opportunities in the hospital.
