An Inspector Calls offers anyone with an interest in the family justice system, a selective overview of legal, policy, practice, research and inspectorate history and milestones that mainly cover the four decades from the mid 1980's through to the 2020's. Information from official sources is complemented by recollections from professionals who in different ways were involved during those years. Among many landmarks, two in particular are given prominence - preparing for and implementing the Children Act 1989 in 1991 and establishing the Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service in 2001. The author's own professional involvement with these developments span twenty-three years as a government inspector.
