The CINA team was created in February 1976 and ahat time there were six reportedcases of child abuse on the CAS files. A year and one month later the CAS file has swelled to more than three times the number of cases, not because of a surge of child abuse —Fui —because of a more efficient system of reporting cases. z. CAS administrator John Penn pointed out that the reporting system- created by CINA, the' awareness of the types and causes of child abuse and neglect and the proven success of CAS workers in most abuse cases had prompted professionals -to point out high risk cases. He said the tripling of the case load was not an indication of a rise in abuse of children but was indicative of the need for a more concentrated effort to meet the needs of neglected youngsters. indicated a desire to be more involved with child abuse. Public health nurses would be taking an equal role with cAS in the near- future according to Jeffery w ho said the nurses had even organized their own committee to become acquainted with Seaforth brigade members. Betty Glanville will be attending book inspettion May at St. John's Hduse, Stratfor42. On May 6 at 8 `p.m. at the Stratford Secondary School in Stratford there will be an 'inspection night of all 'area Brigade and St. John Branches. The Seaforth - group will be attending this with their family and friends with a social evening after special events and demonstrations.

The etimmittee met recently to update t its activities and report progress in -various areas of concern to the CAS. The steering committee, aptly named 'Children In Need—of • Attention (CINA) is made up of a combination of professionals who may become involved in child abuse cases and children's aid workers.. The professions included in CINA are law, education, medicine., , police, public health, psychiatry, social services and hospital.

He said once the abuse is reported the CAS would, be the final, destination for the reports. Such a file would also prevent people from merely going to anotherhospital to • protect themselves from detection. Walker produced a sample form he said he had received from Victoria Hospital in 'London. He said he did not know the author of'the form but assumed it came originally from Toronto Sick Chadren'sil 'ospital. ,The doctor said the form would be used only when the doctor , suspecting child abuse, felt the situation should be investigated.. He said it would not become something a doctor filled out as standard procedUre when a child is taken by its parents to a hospital emergency' unit. John Penn said the CAS had a file of past cases and investiga- tions that went back five years. He said 'the files contained the original reporting and subsequent information discovered during investigations and that the informatiOn was available „ to professionals. The files cannot be perused by the public but doctors, lawyers, health nurses, police or any other professional working-with a child abuse case can look at .a particular file for information.
