Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by John Heppell (Labour). It was answered on Monday, 26 January 2009 on behalf of the Department for Children, Schools and Families.
Child Abuse
- Question
- While the massive extension of children's centres and Sure Start by the Government must have had an impact in identifying children who are abused, unfortunately many parents still do not access those services. What are we doing to try to ensure that we access them?
- Answer
-
Of course, one thing that we are doing is putting in additional resources for outreach workers to knock on doors and develop relationships with some of those disadvantaged families who find it difficult initially even to walk up to a children's centre. The Opposition would cut the funding for those outreach workers, and if that were to happen, the ability of children's centres to reach those families would be seriously impaired.
