Medical evaluation – key criteria for the Barnahus and similar setups
Mini-series starts today!
18 October, 25 October, and 19 November
Register here.
One criterion of the Barnahus is that a medical evaluation is carried out to ensure a victim’s right to health and to secure forensic evidence for investigative purposes. As part of its medical services, a Barnahus or similar setup should also provide treatment and referrals to specialists as integral parts of its service.
This 3-part webinar mini-series will explore the many considerations for meeting the medical evaluation criteria for Barnahus:
Part 1: Framework for medical standards
Featuring Stefan Rune, Consultant paediatrician at Karolinska University Hospital, Sweden
Today! 18 October 2018 15:00 CEST
Part 2: Physical abuse diagnostic workup and decision-making
Featuring Resmiye Oral, Professor of Paediatrics, Director of the Child Protection Program at the University of Iowa, USA

Part 3: Sexual abuse diagnostic workup and decision-making
Featuring Andrea Goddard, Consultant paediatrician, Imperial College Healthcare, NHS Trust, UK
19 November 2018 15:00 CEST
This mini-series is targeted to all professionals who are working to meet the Barnahus Quality Standards, or to otherwise ensure reliable evidence and good outcomes for children who are victims and witnesses of violence. Join to learn about:
- Why medical evaluation is important for the wellbeing of children and the investigation,
- best practices for a multi-disciplinary cooperation which includes medical evaluation,
- the types of medical providers who should be available to the Barnahus and the additional training they may need,
