Comic to be used to aid children
PA Wellington A comic book will be used to explain institutional life to children entering Social Welfare homes. The director of Social Welfare residential services, Mr John Scott, said that the department was negotiating with an Auckland artist for comic-style publication with simple language and drawings. He said the department had been pursuing the idea of pamphlets for several years and had been spurred into action by the recom-
mendations of the reports of the Human Rights Commission and Archbishop A. H. Johnston. Mr Scott said the new booklet would be aimed at the many children coming into institutions on remand or because of other urgent situations, and would illustrate various important aspects of care. Its main message will be to explain to young people how they come to be in institutions and what is likely to happen to them.
