Split on impact of Valuing People

January 22, 2003 in Child safeguarding, Disability, Social care leaders, Workforce

Visitors to Community Care‘s website are divided in their
assessment of the impact of the Valuing People white paper on
learning difficulties services.

Forty-five per cent said the initiative had not had an impact in
their area since it was launched in March 2001, with a similar
proportion saying it had.

This week’s question asks: “Should unqualified people from
communities be recruited to work with child protection
professionals?”

The idea has been put forward by charity NCH as a way to ease the
workload on child protection workers and help the community become
more involved in the protection of children.
