I wanted to come back to what we were talking about with regard to the Oberstown campus. This does not relate to Oberstown but it is about child protection and how we ascertain what child protection is. We think of child protection as the child being in danger from another person or another child. Is that correct? What happens when a child is a danger to themselves? Take for example a family environment where the family are in danger but the child is only 11 years old.
