Abstract
Lack of co-ordination in the social welfare field has commonly presented communities with major problems. “Duplicating”, “overlapping” and “fragmentary” are recurring descriptions of social welfare programmes.1 Lack of co-ordination can represent inconvenience to clients, economic waste for the community, ineffectual use of already available resources, or, in services for maltreated children, further injury or even death to the child.Keywords
