Physical child abuse

When a child is abused, it can cause damage not only to their growing bodies, but also to their developing minds. Physical child abuse is the deliberate act of harming a child, causing injuries such as bruises, cuts and burns. If you are concerned that a child may be suffering from physical abuse, reach out for help, advice and support.
