Excerpt from Civil Defense Measures for the Protection of Children: Report of Observations in Great Britain, February 1941

Civil-defense provisions for the protection of children and youth in Great Britain have been of two types: Those to protect children re maining in the cities under bombing, and those necessary for the evacu ation Of children to areas of relative safety and for their protection in a new environment. The steps to protect children in time Of war by the agencies Of government and others charged with their protection in time Of peace took place in three general periods: The period cover ing the organization of the prewar program Of child welfare, the plan ning period just before the declaration Of war, and the later period Of action under the impact Of war.

The basic provisions for child welfare and child care1 which had been developed gradually during the 20 years from 1918 to 1938 and which had originated as a result of the last war were, without doubt, fundamental to the success of the Special emergency measures for the protection Of children in the present war. The excellent morale of the parents and of the children themselves and the voluntary acceptance of the drastic measures for the protection of the children depended to a very considerable extent upon the general knowledge that child-wel fare services and school medical services were available everywhere in the provinces as well as in the large cities. The authorities were aware of the fact that child-welfare clinics, school medical services, district nursing services, health Visitors, and midwives were available under the jurisdiction Of practically every local authority.
