Require Local Authorities return children when original concerns no longer apply

Petition Details

We want the Government to change the law so that children cannot remain in foster care when the original concerns that led to their removal have been proven to no longer apply.

Additional Information

Families across the UK are experiencing long delays, incomplete assessments, or outdated worries being repeatedly relied on even after risks have been addressed.

We ask for a statutory duty requiring Local Authorities and social workers to promptly re-assess family members, prioritise family care, and return children when it is safe and proportionate to do so.

If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
