Enid Hendry, director of training and consultancy at the NSPCC, said: "Great reliance is placed on the skills and judgment of paediatricians to ensure the right decisions are made when child abuse or neglect is suspected. This authoritative new training programme will help them play their critical role with increased confidence and knowledge and help ensure children get better protection."
Lord Laming, who investigated child protection services in England in the wake of the Baby P case in Haringey, welcomed the introduction of the course.
He said: "Throughout my career I have never been in any doubt of the importance of the specialist skills of paediatricians and the work they do day by day in protecting children and supporting families.
"This new course will enable them to strengthen not only their competence, but also their confidence, in contributing their unique knowledge and skills to the multi-skilled team work that is essential to success in safeguarding children and young people."
