ADC has been silent on the matter of Professor Roy Meadow. As a monthly, with a 3-month lead time to publication, it is difficult to comment on rapidly changing events. We have left it to BMJ and Lancet to illuminate the issues on a regular basis. However, in this issue, Harvey Marcovitch provides an important update, summarising the events of the past year, and offering wise guidance to any of us who are preparing reports or giving evidence in court. Jonathan Sibert and colleagues add a leading article regarding the evidence base for child protection. Unfortunately, they recognise that there is a paucity of research in this field. With respect to our careers, many of us are judged by the events surrounding the last few years of our professional lives. In this case, I hope that is not true. The contribution of Professor Roy Meadow to the health and well
