Review use of the '"Child in Need" label by social workers & local authorities
We think the government should have a full, urgent review of how safeguarding applies to disabled children. We want respect and compassion for parent carers doing their best under impossible circumstances.
We also want:
- Clear differentiation between "Child in Need" (CIN) due to disability and CIN due to harm.
- Recognition of systemic and institutional failures as potential safeguarding concerns.
