I agree with Tony, until the written evidence ,and the disclosing of such detail is made and shown for such scrutiny, the Courts will fail to reveal their so called secrets, which in some cases does prevent the feelings,and the voice of the child being heard.
I do have some reservations, on a personal basis, i would not like details or any documentation of medical or Psychological assessment reports handed to journalists.
Some Parents or Guardians may also hate having…

Dear Colleague,

assessing prospects for improvement, and reducing the overall burden of

being effectively coordinated between…

Care Proceedings within the UK has risen by as much as 75%, since the horrendous tragedy of Baby Peter in Haringey,and other Local Authority failings up and down the Country resulting in the death of vulnerable children.
But my much increased caseload comes from Mothers that asked for help.
One case was because Mum had to have Social Services involvement because her Son was severely autistic,and needed respite care.
