The review of the guidelines on non-accidental injury to children is now well under way. A number of community care teams have already submitted their views and those still outstanding are being pressed to do so as a matter of urgency.
I can assure the Deputy that any changes in procedures considered necessary or desirable will be incorporated in the revised set of guidelines resulting from this review. Furthermore reforms relating to legal procedures will be included in the Children Bill at present being prepared.
