We want the Government to change the law so that children cannot remain in foster care when the original concerns that led to their removal have been proven to no longer apply.

Fine Local Authorities & penalise LA officers who don’t fulfil SEND obligations
Introduce fines and penalise local authority officers, including the possibility of criminal conviction, who fail to fulfil LA legal obligations to SEND children. We believe Local Authorities which act unlawfully should incur direct consequences.
Increase funding to Local Authorities for home-educated children with safeguards
We want the Government to increase funding to local authorities so they can provide more funding to home-educated children. The funding should be conditional on parents submitting a clear education plan and providing regular updates to ensure this money is supporting the child’s learning.
Local authority employment practices questioned
A resident has raised concerns about the competence and practices of the local council's employment decisions.
Review use of the 'Child in Need label by social workers & local authorities
We think the government should have a full, urgent review of how safeguarding applies to disabled children. We want respect and compassion for parent carers doing their best under impossible circumstances.
Require review hearings for all Child Arrangements Orders
Legislate to require all Child Arrangements Orders to be subject to compulsory, automatic review hearings in the family court, for example at three-month and six-month intervals, with an expectation that both parents adhere to and engage with the process by law.
