returns fr~ e.-ry c~n1ty care area. Table I g1vea a
br .. kdown of the ~r of foraa returned, the ada1aa1ona
to care/auperv1aion, and the nuaber of children involved.
It should be noted that the tables do not include 287
children adaitted to St. Patrick'l H~ Dublin during
1918. All theae were children of unaarried .athera,
awaiting adoption. The Depart .. nt 11 very grateful
to all those concerned 1n coapleting and forwarding the
foraa. It la hoped that the attached tables will prove
uaeful in providing inforaat1on of both national and
local 1ntereat.
In diiCUia1onl with the Progra ... Managers Comaunity Caro,
1t waa agr .. d that thia aurvey would fo~ the flr1t 1tep
in .aving towarda a ca.prehenaive 1y1tea of collecting
inforaation on children coming into care and children in
care. It 11 propoaed that during 1980 the Depart•nt
will circulate a for• requesting infor.ation on \
children 1n care in 1979 and children coaing into care
during that year. The for• will take account of the
c~nta -.de by the Progr .... Managers, Senior Social
Workera and Children•• Officer• on the fo~ attached at
Appendix A. It ia hoped to replace the ex1ating twice
yearly ayat .. of collecting inforaat1on on children in care
with thia new aore coaprehenaive .. thod. The 1nfor .. t1on
collected on children in care in 1979 or eoaing into care
during that year will be widely diatributed.
