United Kingdom: A Thousand Days Of Missed Chances (Opinion)

United Kingdom: A Thousand Days Of Missed Chances (Opinion)
The Huffington Post UK – November 09, 2016
Today, the House of Lords will debate the Children and Social Work Bill. Tucked into it is a tiny amendment that will have a titanic impact on thousands of the UK’s most vulnerable children – an amendment that ensures that every child, when going into care, is given a mental health assessment by a professional. Yet despite the NSPCC leading a chorus of calls from charities, health professionals, and peers to implement an assessment that would flag up whether a child needs some help, Government is still dawdling over what to do.
