Sharing Vulnerable Children’s Details Online – Are UK Fostering Agencies Feeding Child Trafficking?
The parental responsibility side going ignored? What if the parents don’t understand their rights? Are these children being exploited online? Parents still maintain PR right up until/if an adoption order gets made. An adoption decision is only a decision and the parents last chance to hold on to their PR for their child/ren xx
An adoption agency has taken the unusual step of explaining why it chose to publicly advertise two vulnerable siblings, after sharing photo and video footage of the brother and sister in an online newspaper. The private details were shared in an attempt to find foster parents for the children.
The invasive practice, which allows vulnerable children’s details to be shared worldwide, often draws criticism from the public. Reformers and child rights groups are also growing increasingly concerned about the exposure the practice offers grooming gangs and child traffickers.
Interestingly, the piece in the Evening Post does not explain why adoption agency Caritas Care felt the need to explain its actions. The decision may stem around the often aggressive public reaction to making information about vulnerable children widely available online and in print. And for good reason: the practice is widespread and poorly regulated, and is in direct breach of a…

Lord Patel: We Should All Be Concerned About The Lack Of Regulation In Children’s Care Homes.
We broached the subject of forced adoption with Lord Patel, who agreed that most adoptions which took place were unnecessary and could be avoided with the right support.

We met with Lord Patel yesterday, who shared updates on Social Work England’s progress with us, as well as his vision for the sector and his views on the current problems it faces.

Ombudsman Decisions Reveal Startling Number Of Complaints Against Social Workers
The Local Government Obudsman – which is now calling itself the Local Government And Social Care Ombudsman – has just released the latest set of complaints lodged with the organisation, which show a large volume of complaints against social workers in child welfare cases.
The allegations include dishonest behaviour by social workers, unjust treatment of families, as well as errors and deliberate lying in child welfare and child protection hearings and court reports.
The Ombudsman has also released two reports about the way councils have treated Special Guardians. The first is entitled, “Ombudsman finds council’s special guardian policy left scores of families out of pocket,” whilst the second is called, “Ombudsman challenges councils to ensure appropriate support provided for special guardians.”
We’re adding summaries of the complaints below, many of which were not resolved by the Ombudsman, either due to the case not being within their jurisdiction or because…

“What this government is doing to poor families is atrocious – We shouldn’t add to that awfulness by taking people’s children away.”
Steve Goodman, made the comments at a Frontline Leadership Event. Goodman told the audience:
“What this government is doing to poor families is atrocious. The food banks, the rubbish private housing, the precarious employment position of people is awful. But that does not mean we should add to that awfulness by taking people’s children away when we don’t need to… People’s lives are worse, that doesn’t mean that we need to compound that”.

Social Work Apprenticeships – The Blind Leading The Blind?
The foolish man built his house upon the sand? xx
A survey has confirmed that the majority of local authorities will be using social work apprenticeships to train up future professionals inside the sector.
Councils hope that the move will encourage more people to come forward to take up positions as child and family social workers.
The apprenticeships being offered will be paid, so that students will be earning money from the moment they start.
Bizarrely, the survey, which was conducted by the Department for Education, also revealed that 80% of local authority directors were positive about the knowledge and skills of social workers in their authority. This view does not reflect the current crisis faced by the sector, in which a significant number of councils continue to let children down and place them at risk. Google “Ofsted Rates Inadequate” or “councils rated poor in social work”, and the extent of the problem becomes painfully obvious.
Researching Reform is deeply…
