Make it a specific criminal offence for social workers to lie

Petition Details

There have been too many cases of Social Workers involved in children’s services being found to have lied. The Government should introduce a specific offence which makes it a crime if a social worker knowingly lies or writes reports which are untruthful.

Additional Information

Where it is found that social workers have lied or written an untruthful report they should face criminal penalties. Children and families have been torn apart as a result of dishonest social workers. Making this a criminal offence would help protect families.
