By Dave Marshall

This paper consists of some brief personal thoughts and observations from my own experience, many of which I have previously outlined in my book (Marshall, 2012).Rather than answers, these are views developed over many years of investigating child deaths andinvolvement with those impacted by them. I will group my thoughts into themes which I hope will contribute to the debate.The paper will stress the importance of looking at abusive head trauma (AHT), non-accidental head injury (NAHI) andreactive attachment disorder (RADI)with a wide-angle lens and in a general context,as well as with a microscope focused on a specific area. This will reduce the risk of not being able to see the wood for the trees.My motivation for agreeing to contribute to this debate is that I think it essential that weget it right.
