New Year Quiz

We hope you've had a good Christmas, that you didn't over indulge, too much!

To help while away the hours before New Year, or after you get back to work, we've created a Quiz; best suited to people working with Children; for example:

Who were the authors of the Pindown Report, published in 1991?

How many readers recall the Pindown Inquiry?  It was established to review the punishment regime in Staffordshire Children's Homes, where Children were made to remain in 'pindown rooms', sometimes for weeks on end. In one instance, a Child was forced to stay in one of the rooms for a continuous period of 83 days.

What is the name of the official mascot of Barnardos?

Thomas Barnardo set up the Ragged School, in the East end of London, in 1867; following this, he set up his first home for boys in 1870. Later, he opened the Girls' Village Home, a collection of cottages around a green, which housed 1,500 girls. Today, Barnardos is working directly with more than 100,000 Children worldwide - it's strapline is 'Believe in Children'.
