Comment on FJO report – Babies in care proceedings

Helen Lincoln, Chair of the Families, Communities & Young People Policy Committee said:

“This latest report from the Observatory makes for difficult reading and this is an issue that needs attention and action. This cohort of parents illustrates the need for close working between children’s and adult social care to understand needs and where this is in the best interest of the child, support families to stay together. Where this need hasn’t previously been identified, the system in which we work absolutely places the child’s interests above all else, which is right.”
