%X A postal questionnaire to social workers was used to describe the characteristics of situations where children were the subjects of child protection case conferences, to identify factors distinguishing those registered from those not registered and to describe the accounts given by social workers of the reasons for registration. The paper reports and analyses this information and raises some basic issues about the relative importance in registration decisions of evidence of physical or sexual abuse, characteristics of the adults involved, and a child's feelings and emotional state.<p />
