Abstract
This is a response to an article by Nigel Speight and
Jane Wynne, ‘Is the Children Act failing severely
abused and neglected children?’, published in this
journal in March 2000.1 Overall, we consider the
article to be polemical and inadequately argued.
Many of the points made are unsubstantiated and
there are errors of fact. Where does evidence based
practice go if senior practitioners prefer anecdotes
and personal belief to research findings?
Restrictions on space preclude an exhaustive
reply to all the points Speight and Wynne raise, so
we have confined ourselves to addressing those considered
most significant.
