This article examines the training needs of people who work directly with children and families–frontline workers. It argues that such people are working with child abuse, whether they have recognized this to be the case or not. The article outlines work that needs to be covered in training of frontline workers, in order that they can respond effectively to abused children and undertake appropriate prevention work. A range of relevant publications which can support this training are discussed.
