Argues that this may lead to a change in the provision of services to children, making them more on par with adult services. Looks at this trend and considers the changes, particularly in relation to housing and residential assessment placements.

Emphasises the need to have confidence in basic childcare principles and social work skills as well as exploring the responsibilities of social work within the new ABC of assessment, brokerage and care management.
