Abstract: 

In the United Kingdom up to 4,500 children may be battered each year, between 10% and 17% of them dying from their injuries and some 30% being permanently handicapped from brain damage.

The size and complexity of the problem presented by these difficult and deeply troubled families were recognized in Newcastle six years ago. A working party was set up in the university department of child health to consider all aspects of the problem and to reach a common understanding on its management. The working party has met every few months during these years, on five occasions with representatives of the police, and once with a clerk to the justices.
