Abstract

Multi-disciplinary co-operation, including use of central registers, is now regarded as essential to the management of child abuse, both in the UK and USA. There are significant differences in register operation in the UK and USA, however. This paper describes two research studies of registers in the UK, discusses various issues of register operation and contrasts the UK and USA experience as reflected in research and literature.
