It’s part of their studies depending on discipline. My wife is one and used to work for DCFS doing foster home assessments. You need special training and licensing, part of which covers identifying signs of abuse and neglect.
You’re challenging their credentials and literally have no idea what you’re talking about.
In the US they let people with no clue of medicine practice as coroner’s. Maybe your wife can detect signs of trauma. In the court I would still like the opinion of a trained MD
Meanwhile the social worker has handled more cases of neglect, malnourishment and abuse in the last year than the MD will have seen in his entire career. Do you know who that MD calls when they think there might be abuse? The social worker. Because that’s literally their job.

In every pediatric hospital worth their salt, they have a specialized team for child abuse
And yes, of course they are calling child protection services afterwards, but for them to take action, not to get a consult from them if it’s child abuse

They should have asked a psychiatrist or a paediatrician to assess this
What makes you think they didn’t?
The fact that they quote testimony from a social worker and not from a qualified person?
This is what social workers do. What makes you think they’re unqualified?
Since when is it the job of a social worker or part of their studies to perform medical assessments of children?
