N2 - Child neglect continues to be the most prevalent form of child
maltreatment, yet it has received less specific research attention
than other forms of maltreatment (Zuravin, 1999). It is only in
recent years that neglect has been seen as a phenomenon that needs
to be conceptualised separately to other forms of abuse (Gershater-
Molko et al., 2002). Although the term ‘neglect’ is used generally
when children do not receive minimal physical and/or emotional
care, there is no single agreed definition; one possible reason for
this is the lack of consensus about minimally adequate standards
of childcare either within professional groups or existing research
(Rose and Meezan, 1996; Stone, 1998).
