"As indicated in Chapter 1, the
rate of children in care increased
by [50]% over this [first] year
period. As to effectiveness,
there are persistent concerns
about the mixed outcomes for
children in care, and whether or
not children from families
referred for services are being
adequately protected from harm.
For example, large numbers of
children are referred for
investigations, but only a
minority receives ongoing
services. Yet a significant
number of children are re-referred
later."
