  • Unfair repercussions of legal aid changes

    From October 1st last year no legal aid funding has been available for placements in family assessment centres - used when care proceedings have begun to assess parents' parenting ability. This means that such placements now have to be soley funded by councils. The repercussions of this are now starting...

  • Re: Kinship Carers

    The issue is not about financial gain or not loving the children its about being able to have the choice and if these children need stability and someone their for them maybe the last thing someone wants to do is go out and leave these children until they feel settled and safe, and how can anyone in...

  • Re: Kinship Carers

    Sorry I have read and unable to quote the bit I wish to use, but how old is the grandmother? and how many children did she have placed with her? I feel its amazing to be told to go out and get a job, and if there is a disability involved also then I would say trying to get a job is almost impossible...

Or, to put it another way, adopters and foster carers have to demonstrate that they surpass the average parent...

  • Re: unaccompanied asylum seeking children reform programme

    The government seems keen to get them out of here as soon as they arrive. I think they plan to look at abolishing giving under 18s discretionary leave to remain and send them back more quickly. Out of sight, out of mind. They began with dispersing adult asylum seekers a few years ago, now children are...
