Physical signs of child sexual abuse 2023 (Purple Book) – about

Coming soon: Fully updated in 2023, this guidance outlines good practice for the paediatric forensic examination where there are concerns about child sexual abuse. It also has an evidenced-based review of the interpretation of physical signs.
