Arch Dis Child 2000 Volume 83 No 6
In March, two of our contributors stated with some vigour that the
Children Act was failing those severely abused orand neglected children.1 This is a grave allegation to make against the
law which governs how the courts protect children. We were not
surprised, therefore, to receive an equally forthright rebuttal from a
senior judge (page 463)
more particularly since she had been the Law Commissioner responsible for the reforms in family law, of which the
Children Act was a key part. We hope readers from outside the
jurisdiction will also find the dialogue useful as it raises matters of
principle beyond that of the specific item of legislation under
contention. Key messages are that social workers lack resources and
support; families should not be separated without due process of law;
legal proceedings must move faster; and adoption procedures need
improving. Drs Wynne and
