However, the report highlights a need to better protect our safeguarding workforce. Services need greater resource and provision in areas such as chaperoning, and clinician support.</p> <p>The report also explores service delivery models that exist when delivering child protection medical assessments. It demonstrates a varied landscape, with dedicated child protection suites in some areas, to a lack of photography provision in others.</p> <p><a class="btn btn-primary" href="#downloadBox">Download the full report below</a></p> <h2 id="audit-data">Audit data</h2> <p>An <a href="https://rcpch.sharepoint.com/:f:/s/RCPCH_Child_Protection_Service_Delivery_Standards_Audit_2023_-_Report%20generator/EmbJI5KtOUZElmFttupeYGABOjhKQUkXg9L6Trrtgr2QgA" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Excel report generator is available to download via SharePoint</a>.
