SCHN has a total of two Child Protection Unit’s (CPU), one located at each hospital site - The Children’s Hospitals at Westmead and The Sydney Children’s Hospital at Randwick. The multidisciplinary CPU teams include specialist medical and psycho-social health professionals. Their role is to provide forensic, medical and counselling health services to children, young people and their families following allegations of child abuse and neglect, including sexual assault. They also support children and carers in out of home care, those preparing for court and general advocacy and case management.
