Abstract
So far we have argued strongly for the retention of the role of investigator for social workers, and quite strongly against the role of full-time bureaucrat, by reducing the use of the register machinery. We did not develop these arguments purely for isolated, ethical reasons, although these are important. More importantly, we would like to see the energies of social workers developed and freed for use as therapists in child abuse cases.
