The reason for admission was early developed as a focus of work in Hill End Adolescent Unit (Bruggen et al, 1973). Boys and girls (they were all under 16) were admitted on the authority of those in parental charge, and the reason usually was that their parents needed a break from the anxiety of having them at home, or that their children's homes could no longer cope with them and that their social workers had nowhere else to place them.
