Common protocol for healthcare action against violence in childhood and adolescence (Spanish)

Combatting violence during childhood and adolescence is crucial for upholding human rights and public health. A thorough, evidence-based response, encompassing high-quality healthcare services, is necessary.
The Ministry of Health in Spain released a common protocol for healthcare action against violence in childhood and adolescence which aims to standardise the healthcare response nationwide, advocating for compassionate care, preventive measures, and comprehensive approaches to addressing violence cases.
The protocol was approved by the Commission on Violence against Children and Adolescents of the Interterritorial Council of the National Health System (CoViNNA) on 22 December 2023.
