What to do if you're worried a child is being abused 2003 is national guidance that brings together the content from working together to safeguard children and the framework for the assessment of children in need and their famillies 2000.
NB: page 25 or pg23 in the pdf reader of the Working Together to Safeguard Children document provides a table that explains the relevant sections to read in relation to role and responsibilities.
