Recognising child abuse

Worried about a child or family, but don't know what to do?

The booklet "How can I tell?" provides information on how to recognise situations where children may be living with violence or abuse.

If you are worried that a child is being hurt or not being well looked after, you can help.

"How Can I Tell?" provides information about what to look for and how to help reduce the risk of harm to children.

The booklet is published by Child Matters and has the backing of the Principal Youth Court Judge, Andrew Becroft.

The booklet was printed, thanks to the generosity of Hamilton companies New Zealand Home Loans and Verdict Communications.

"How Can I tell?" is available from www.childmatters.org.nz and can be purchased in hard copy from the Child Matters online shop http://www.childmatters.org.nz/shop/ or viewed online at http://www.versite.co.nz/~2011/15700/
