Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 5 page paper illustrating why workers in early childhood education in the UK need to be informed of political and policy matters related to child abuse and neglect. The UK has no national law requiring professionals to report any suspected child abuse. It has implemented seemingly every other approach to reducing the incidence of child abuse, and the changes expected following the death of Ainlee Walker may well include such a requirement. Workers in education will need to remain aware, and use their positions to help identify those children at risk for child abuse. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

childrens welfare. The greatest difference is that Dennis ONeal was murdered in 1945; Ainlee Walker died in 2002. Communication is Essential In
the short span of Ainlees life, police visited her home 53 times, generally called by Ainlees mother for help in controlling her violent father. Neighbors gave the family a
wide berth and did not have contact with them; social workers ceased visiting the home after being attacked by the violent father (Carvel, 2002). Even medical personnel were frightened
by the family after the family attacked a hospital patient. Batty (2002) provides a timeline of child protection legislation as it has evolved
in the UK, but nowhere in the list is mentioned any requirement that individuals suspecting abuse report their suspicions to local child protection authorities. A government initiative launched in
1998, Quality Protects, charges local agencies with developing programs designed "to transform childrens services by 2004 ... covering children in need, looked after children and children at risk of abuse"
