520			_aThe object of this paper is to examine the impact of the Child Youth and Family Services (CYFS) initiative known as 'New Directions' on the child maltreatment investigative and intervention procedure that the Department has in place. The reporting of suspected child abuse is explored and the merits of mandatory reporting debated to determine whether or not this would bring the plight of more at risk children to the authorities attention. Emotional neglect is examined in order to show the difficulties of substantiating this form of maltreatment, as well as the difficulties of intervening in such an area. This research paper argues that there is a need for a comprehensive interagency scheme that allows multiple agencies to work in partnership when it comes to the reporting, investigation and intervention into cases of suspected abuse.--AUTHOR'S ABSTRACT
