Child observation and assessment centres: psychiatrist' and social workers' difficulties

J Harris

Two child observation and assessment centres run by a Social Services Department have quickly filled up with older children who stay indefinitely. Many of these children have physical as well as emotional problems and have been admitted as family emergencies in an unplanned way. The paper discusses how, if at all, the psychiatrist called in for advice by social workers can help. This is thought to be a widespread problem.
