HC Deb 07 July 1981 vol 8 cc99-100W
20. Mrs Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will take steps to ensure that full up-to-date information on child abuse is available and that adequate guidelines are issued in connection with it.

Dr. Vaughan

This is an important and distressing problem. The Department has regularly reviewed and updated its guidance as to how authorities should deal with this and will continue to do so.
