Since to get into a home such as that described here, is a great advantage, the pressure for admission is high, especially from the lower middle class who see this as the “back door” to a good Loreto education. Hence care has to be taken that the following priorities are followed strictly in accepting girls into the home.

a. Children alone on the streets at night .
b. Children of parents / employers who are so exploited physically / sexually that they are in danger.
c. Children with one parent or relation in the background so inadequate that they cannot provide the protection the girl needs.

Every child who comes from :

a) above is to be admitted at once. She is to be made welcome at once. Questions can be asked later.
For sections b) and c) the child is encouraged to be a dayscholar for the few days needed by the social / field worker to investigate the background and ensure that this is a real need. Then the child is welcomed in. However, in case of emergency even children in the category of b) and c) are welcomed in prior to investigation.
