Accountability In Child Protection

EDM number 1657 in 2007-08, proposed by John Hemming on 02/06/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Children's social services and Family law.

That this House notes that there is widespread concern about the lack of accountability in child protection and public family law; further notes that the single expert system operating in the family division gives rise to concerns that parents and their solicitors are prevented from consulting experts about their cases leading potentially to miscarriages of justice; and believes that the Government should use the opportunity of the Children and Young Persons Bill to introduce amendments to ameliorate these difficulties.

This motion has been signed by a total of 26 MPs.
