Child Protection and Safeguarding Measures in Inpatient and Outpatient Care Abstract. Cases of (sexualized) abuse against children and adolescents and the development of safeguarding measures have long been marginalized by institutions in the medical-therapeutic sector. However, with the adoption of the quality management guidelines of the Federal Joint Committee (G-BA), all clinics and outpatient settings now have to face this issue and are obliged to develop safeguarding measures against (sexualized) violence. This issue gives an overview of the data and statistics regarding (sexual) assaults against children and adolescents in medical-therapeutic institutions and describes the causes of assaults by health care professionals as well as the resulting necessary interventions. Another topic is the development of safeguarding measures against (sexual) abuse and violence. Information is provided concerning the structure and practical implementation of safeguarding measures in both clinical and outpatient settings.
