This report presents papers from a national symposium on child abuse held in Dunedin (New Zealand) in 1979. The principle objective of the symposium was to formulate specific practical recommendations which if implemented would improve the situation. The report describes the history of the symposium, its objectives and the discussions which led to its resolutions. Resolutions were made, and presented to the Minister of Health, in relation to the administrative procedures of the agencies with responsibilities for preventing and intervening in child abuse, training and resources, and the legal aspects of responding to child abuse.
