Children and Young Persons Bill [HL]

I could not help but think back to before the Children and Young Persons Act 1969 when exactly that situation occurred with regard to juvenile courts. Social services, education authorities, the police and the other officers of the court all worked together in the best interests of the children. I am not suggesting that it is possible to go back to that scenario. Nevertheless, it is desirable to try to work out some way in which the best aspects of that activity can be taken into account.
