It offered an education or re-education into family living in a mixed discipline group. Planning for the unit began in 1974. It was based in a former primary school at Yorkhill, Glasgow, and offered intensive case work service to up to 25 families where abuse of children was suspected.

Scottish National Federation for the Welfare of the Blind, memorandum to the Younghusband Study Group regarding content of training
The Younghusband report was published in 1959 and was a significant turning point in the organisation of social work. It was based on the North American model where community organisation was a key component of social work. It was aimed at helping people in local communities to identify their own social needs and determine the most effective means of meeting those. Prior to this there were separate groups of workers in this area but following the report social work emerged as an occupation for trained professionals.
