About CAE Ltd

Our origins >>
Children Act Enterprises (CAE) was founded in 1991 with the publication by Fergus Smith in consultation with Professor Tina Lyon of a 'Personal Guide to the Children Act 1989'.

That first guide sold in excess of 80,000 copies and was followed by a series of other guides to legislation affecting children and their families.

CAE grew to the point where it provides full time occupation for Fergus and a small number of carefully selected consultants. These individuals work singly, in pairs or as a team to provide CAE's services to a growing number of social care agencies.

In the autumn of 2002 CAE incorporated and became Children Act Enterprises Ltd.
