Proceeding contribution from Baroness Howarth of Breckland (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 8 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Children and Young Persons Bill [HL].


Children and Young Persons Bill [HL]

Perhaps I can ask the Minister for clarification on that point. Many local authorities work with voluntary and other organisations in dealing with children who are not in care but who are in danger of being placed in care. I am thinking of the Family Welfare Association, which is now joined with other organisations and with NSPCC projects. I assume that what the Minister is saying will not prevent that work continuing. The implication was that all the work—this is only to do with private practices—that is carried out by the voluntary sector at the moment would not happen.
