Join us on this episode as we speak to Dr Deborah Zeitlin about non-accidental injury and physical abuse. Dr. Zeitlin is a consultant general paediatrician here at GOSH where she is the named Doctor for Safeguarding for Children and Young People. We're gonna split this episode into two parts. Look out for part two coming soon.

Child abuse is not an easy topic to talk about or listen to. Remember to look after yourselves. There are some resources in the episode description of places you can go to for help if you've been affected by anything that we've discussed.
