What do you know about modern slavery and exploitation in childhood? As paediatricians we are all aware of our safeguarding and advocacy role. Recognising a child in such a position may be very hard. Archivist found this article by Laura Wood to be very helpful in describing the issues and delivers a very practical review of the definitions and factors contributing to children’s vulnerability ( BMJ Paediatrics Open 2020;4:e000327).

The literature is full of underpowered and non-generalisable studies in both the paediatric and adult world.
