Medical professionals, doctors, and teachers have always had the legal obligation to protect the welfare of the children entrusted to them. With the enactment of the Federal Child Protection Act in 2012, they are now explicitly required to do so. This leads to uncertainty and raises many questions: - What constitutes a threat to a child's welfare and what forms can it take? - How can I recognize if a child's welfare is at risk, and when am I allowed or required to act? - Where can I find support, and who is responsible for what within the system? - How should I behave correctly to help the child and the affected families, and how does this relate to data protection? - How do I interact with the affected children and families? - How do I protect myself and my own mental health in these sometimes highly stressful cases? Answers to these and other questions are provided by the experienced.
