Abstract
First paragraph: Over the last decade awareness of the extent of child neglect has grown and there is now a significant evidence base about the severe impact of neglect upon children's well-being and development (Farmer and Lutman, 2012; Stevenson, 2007). There is emerging evidence about the factors associated with effective early intervention and the difference that therapeutic support for children and their families can make (Long et al. 2012).
