The remit of the review was extended to cover the entire interface between Children and Families Division (CFD) and the Education Department (Children's Services Division CSD) in relation to those under 18. Work was concentrated in four task groups: children and young people with disabilities; interagency arrangements for child protection; the interrelationship of CFD and education department provision for children away from home; the interrelationship between CSD and the services of CFD for young children.
