Hi,

What are the Four main areas of Abuse?
What are the signs and symptoms for each area?
as advised there is lots of information available for these - this is a good start

What are the policies & procedures in your setting if there is a suspicion of abuse? (I always have my policies and procedures on me so that bit is a fish out of the water) - is the child protection & whistleblowing policy tucked in there?

Flowchart for refferal
Working together to safeguard children check the sections you need to read for your area of work.
What to do if you're worried a child is being abused
Introduction to child protection legislation in the UK - NSPCC
Reporting child abuse - NSPCC

What are the rights of children, young people & their families?
some threads for this are ..
Explaining the rights and this reply
Example of rights
Understanding how to protect children

The interactive tool on OCR is good reading for children's safeguarding and protection: Safeguarding children
