Ray Jones on the required support for and confidence in all working in child protection following the Baby P case - The Guardian 26th November 2008

Wednesday, November 26, 2008

Children are not protected by procedures and records. They are protected by skilled, confident and competent workers, such as social workers, health visitors, doctors and police officers, who are closest to the children and their families. These professionals need the stability, time and management support, and the public confidence, to be able to do their jobs well.
