Changes to Children Act 1989

Petition Details

Urgent action is required to give more rights & protection to parents/carers & also vulnerable children in care

Additional Information

Sections 20 & 31 of Children Act are currently unworkable, resulting in a care crisis. We call on government to take urgent action to make changes to legislation & guidance to protect the parenting/caring role from a distance by:
A more humane ethical family centred approach where birth & adoptive parents & special guardians can be seen as part of the solution & not part of the problem, in striving to do their best caring for their children.
Safeguarding vulnerable children with new legislation & legal frameworks that also supports parents/carers when children are 'beyond parental control' which may be related to poor mental health, disabilities, early life trauma, abuse or neglect.
