Court Orders: Guidance and Regulations Children Act, 1989

Front Cover
Stationery Office, 1991 - Law - 80 pages
This handbook is the first in a series designed to clarify the principles of the Children Act, to identify areas of change and to discuss the implications for policies, procedures and practice. The courts have considerable scope for discretion in their decisions about children. It is therefore important that social workers and other practitioners in the field understand the broad objectives of the legislation. This volume considers the major new orders available under Parts 1, II, IV and V of the Act as well as secure accommodation orders and the criminal implications of the Children act.
