Nine children have recently started at a school in Hornsey, north London which they hope will change their lives. The Hornsey Centre for Handicapped

The Lincoln Child Protection Team is on call 24 hours a day. Over the past three years, the NSPCC has radically changed its practice - moving away from the solitary inspector towards the team approach, where staff work jointly on cases and are encouraged to share their problems, stresses and experience.
This has been particularly successful in the handling of sexual abuse cases, where the most painful and delicate decisions have to be made about the future of children at risk.

A Place to Be Old
You don't expect to see pets on a hospital ward, but at the Mount Pleasant and Clayponds hospitals in west London, that is exactly what will greet you.
As a nursing officer, Ralph Greaves 's job is not unlike that of the matron in an old hospital. When he arrived at the hospitals in 1983, he found them run down and demoralised. With few resources but plenty of good nursing, he managed a quiet revolution in the care of his elderly patients.
