根据1989年《儿童法》第31条，地方当局如果接到对儿童造成重大伤害或可能造成重大伤害的严重指控，且无法与父母解决，可以向法院申请将儿童置于地方当局的照顾或监督之下。此类申请产生的护理程序可能会非常漫长。司法机构和司法部推出了《公法纲要》，作为管理护理诉讼案件的工具（司法部，2008年）。
这项研究的目的是描述和评估《公法纲要》在两级家庭司法系统（治安法官家庭诉讼法院和县法院护理中心）的执行过程。PLO最初于2007年6月在英格兰和威尔士的10个地区试行，并于2008年4月1日在全国推广，同时由儿童、学校和家庭部（DCSF 2008）和威尔士议会政府（WAG 2008）发布了地方当局法定指南。
Context
Local authorities with serious allegations of significant harm or likely significant harm to a child which cannot be resolved with a parent may apply to the court to place the child under local authority care or supervision, under Section 31 of the Children Act 1989. Care proceedings resulting from such applications can be very lengthy. The Public Law Outline (PLO) was introduced by the Judiciary and Ministry of Justice as a tool for the management of care proceeding cases (Ministry of Justice 2008).
The aims of this study were to describe and evaluate the process of implementation of the Public Law Outline (PLO) in two tiers of the family justice system (magistrates’ Family Proceedings Courts and county court Care Centres). The PLO was initially trialled in ten areas in England and Wales from June 2007, and rolled out nationally on the 1st April 2008, together with the issue of statutory guidance for local authorities issued by the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF 2008), and the Welsh Assembly Government (WAG 2008).
