‘The child of misfortune’
a booklet written in 1952 by
Leila Rendel
, in which she classifies and groups children
under a variety of circumstances that may result in the child needing to
attend a facility such as the Caldecott Community. She outlines the
emergence of the Children’s Act 1948, and introduces the need for
‘Reception Centres’ as a precursor to placing a child in care.
