Additional information
As an Inspector of the Home Office, Robert Tod had responsibility for the promotion of training of staff for the child care service: he now has the same duties within the Department of Health and Social Security. His experience as a Regional Inspector led to an interest in children's literature as a means of developing the imaginative life of deprived children. He has edited four books of British and American articles on social work practice. He is married and has three children.
