= Pediatricians network against child abuse =

"Paediatric network against ill-treatment of minors" has been launched and supported by the pharmaceutical company, Menarini, together with :it:Telefono Azzurro, the Italian Federation of Paediatricians, and the Association of Italian Paediatric Hospitals, has grown beyond Italian borders.{{Citation needed|date=January 2021}}

The project originated in Italy and is the first of its kind in the world. It was launched in May 2016 in the city of Florence and is supported by Menarini with an investment of one million euro. It foresees the creation of a network of 15,000 paediatricians and general practitioners deployed over the entire Italian territory who act as 'sentinels' in the fight against child abuse. These physicians, who have been 'trained' on the skills needed to recognise the unexpressed 'sentinel' warning signs of child abuse, shall in turn become reference people for their colleagues on a local level, providing qualified information and advice. This project is for the creation of an anti-abuse network.{{Cite web|date=2016-05-12|title=15,000 doctors against child abuse - English|url=http://www.ansa.it/english/news/general_news/2016/05/12/15000-doctors-against-child-abuse_10d590d0-06eb-4507-b609-13be0d43d06f.html|access-date=2021-01-12|website=ANSA.it|language=en}}
