So is there anything in the bill to force accountability onto professionals, in respect of the child they come into contact with or their wrong decisions?
If not, it will be the same waste of time as the rest of the legislation, which doesn't currently keep vulnerable children safe from maladministration.
Currently, where a Complaints system is entered, by any parent, whose child has been ill-served, that system - from personal experience - is designed to crush both child and parent.
Will this legislation improve that? Will it stop the need for months of soul-destroying work by parents; and denigration of their reputation, by the very complaints system designed \(theoretically) to help them?
Perhaps if the professionals were to be made accountable - and preferably retrained regularly into the latest legislation - they might begin to follow it?
Was that a pig I saw flying past?
