Proceeding contribution from Julie Kirkbride (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 9 October 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Young People in Care.


Young People in Care

I applaud the Secretary of State’s desire to improve outcomes for looked-after children. He asks for ideas; is he considering the use of state or private boarding schools as a placement for those young people? That might improve the educational outcome of many and will add to their stability in many ways. It might also unleash more foster parents, including grandparents, who would be able to share care in the holidays and share the burden with the school.
