A prominent children's health organization in Dublin is seeking a General Paediatrician focused on child protection and forensic medical examinations. The role includes developing a dedicated safeguarding team, providing consultations for complex child abuse cases, and leading clinical initiatives. Candidates must have specialist registration in Paediatrics and a fellowship in Child Protection. This position offers the opportunity to contribute to high-quality, child-centred services within an innovative healthcare environment. #J-18808-Ljbffr
Purpose of role Currently in Ireland, all General Paediatricians have a responsibility for the assessment and management of cases of suspected child abuse including cases of suspected physical abuse, neglect, emotional abuse or fabricated illness. In contrast to this, suspected child sexual abuse (CSA) cases are strictly managed by specific Consultant Paediatricians and an ANP with extra subspecialty training in this field in 3 units around Ireland (Dublin, Cork, Galway). This has led to the development of a high quality, child‑centred (PFME) service that is comparable to other services internationally. Cases of suspected child abuse should be assessed and managed with the same level of specialist input as cases of possible CSA. In the UK, Canada, US, Australia and many European countries, it is standard that a ‘Child Protection Paediatrician/Child Abuse Paediatrician/Child Safeguarding team’ is available to assist in the assessment and management of children where there is a concern of suspected physical abuse, neglect, emotional abuse or fabricated illness. This ensures that a rigorous, high standard medico‑legal opinion is formulated and provided to investigators in the community i.e. Tusla – Child and Family Agency, An Garda Síochána and the judicial system. With this in mind, the vision is that the post holder will play a pivotal role in the development of a dedicated Child Protection team / Safeguarding service within CHI.
