No
single theme this month, but a real wealth of ideas and contributions.
We
have a summary of the new Children’s Bill, and articles which
have a bearing on it.
-
Andy Merker’s Presidential Address to the Social Care Association
which surveys the changes in the current scene,
- Alan Griffin’s encouragement to workers to get involved in
the process of change, - and Prof Ewan Anderson’s concern at
the extra responsibilities loaded on schools.
A
group of articles have an international flavour.
-
Our Editorial acknowledges tragedies affecting children, triggered
by the Madrid bombings.
- The Hesley column recounts a sort of twinning between England and
Spain.
- Vibeke Lasson writes from Denmark, though the message about names
and
language
affects other countries.
- The piece about Thomas Coram speaks of his time in the United States.
- Keith White’s article describes the world-wide family of people
who have been through Mill Grove.
- Some of the Cuttings also cover issues abroad.
The
remaining pieces contain some gems.
-
Gus Greene has started a new column, looking back on his career, and
it promises to be as entertaining and insightful as the Bluebrick
saga.
- Dave Wiles points out the need for rural youth services.
- Theo Norry argues that responsibilities are as important as rights
for children.
- And Cuttings have bits about truancy, running away, well-known abusers,
internet porn inquiries, the Budget, sleep and names.
We
hope you find something useful and interesting.
