This is the second of two programmes on the difficulties of bringing up children in a society without common religious faith or common moral values. Last Sunday's broadcast dealt with the child in the normal home. But many thousands of children have no homes, or homes that have broken up or abdicated responsibility. For these deprived children society itself takes responsibility and exercises that responsibility through the state, the local authority, and the voluntary organisations. What does the deprived child really lack? How can the institution or the social worker help him? In our divided society are there any common principles which can inspire their work?
