In May 2010, after the election, the Department for Children, Schools and Families became the Department for Education.  The safeguarding content is currently split between the 2 websites.  Most of the Every Child Matters information is at www.dcsf.gov.uk/everychildmatters but some of the more up to date news on safeguarding issues is at http://www.education.gov.uk/childrenandyoungpeople/safeguardingandsocialworkreform.

A useful document on recognising physical abuse in children with fractures has just been published jointly by the NSPCC and Welsh Child Protection Systematic Review Group.  Compulsory reading for GPs and ED physicians I should think.  This Cardiff Core Info Group publish a number of excellent pamphlets on bites, head injury, burns, bruises and neglect.
