This scandal is still raw for so many. @uk_karen and others have shown a huge amount of courage in speaking about their horrendous experiences. A proper and meaningful apology is long overdue.

A very worrying statistic.
4.5 million children in the UK live in poverty;children in poor areas are 10 times more likely to be taken into “care”;1 in 200 of all babies are taken into“care”at birth – most are never reunited with their families.Take Away our Poverty NOT our Children.

@AdultAdopteeMov @JanetDaby All uk child removals and adoptions since 2005 are open to judicial review as a result of the Somerset hearings, and the BAAFCORAM investigation. 99.9% of removals are suggested have been unlawful under the human rights act, equality act, childrens act and all associated leg

A powerful response to the trite and meaningless phrases this government continues to trot out in response to correspondence (when they do respond, which is not guaranteed). Thank you for sharing your justified anger and for calling out the Minister on her reiterative word salad.
We recently received a letter from @JanetDaby (link in the blog). One of our team has responded. https://t.co/vhMGITNMvM Stock responses used by successive governments just isn't good enough. Do better.
