Footnotes

This is an edited version of a paper delivered by Mr Barry Cook to seminars conducted in Melbourne, Geelong and Ballarat by Childrens Welfare Association of Victoria. Some detailed references to the Victorian Welfare scene have been omitted but inevitably the paper reflects both the existence of vast Residential Care resources in that State and some of the concerns of the author regarding inequities and inconsistencies in funding arrangements between Government and Non-Government agencies particularly evident in Victoria.
