I actually went to a really good talk a while back now on checklists. It was primarily for junior doctors, I think. Where they could basically fill out this checklist form in cases of suspected child abuse.
The idea was that the nurses and other staff and the junior doctor, too, could feel a lot of pressure that they should call the police or someone to report likely abuse.
The form allowed them to basically say they were concerned. To consider whether, on balance, intervention would likely help more than harm.
The idea (it seemed to me) was to absolve the junior doctor of responsibilty for fixing the situation / solving the problem.
It didn't seem to be about putting a label on the kids head to follow them around forever...
It seemed more about how the junior doctor could survive. And the nursing staff etc too (because then you could say that you have reported your concerns to a higher agency). And you had.
I imagine this aspect will hit pretty hard, actually / has the potential to be triggering. There would be something wrong with you if this didn't affect you. I don't know how people who love kids can train pediatrics in some settings... Yeah...
Huddle with the herd...
