A Duty of Care
Although the death of Jasmin Beckford in 1984 focused attention on the problem of child abuse, recent cases make it clear that some children remain at risk in their own homes, even when the social services know the families. Can the risk be reduced without making unacceptable inroads into the rights of parents or unreasonable demands on resources?
David Wheeler looks at the questions facing the law, the statutory social services and the other agencies charged with the duty of caring for children at risk.
