Abstract: The article describes the establishment of the Looking After Children, a paper based record keeping system, which provided detailed assessment and action records for any child looked after by a Local Authority in the United Kingdom. It goes on to review the conversion of this system into the Looking After Children Computer System, a Windows-based database system. The article concludes with a discussion of the program's limitations to its acceptance/utilization by Social Service Departments throughout the country. |
