Proceeding contribution from Baroness Howe of Idlicote (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 14 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Children and Young Persons Bill [HL].
Children and Young Persons Bill [HL]
I have already spoken about grandparents and I support everything that has been said. The issue is crucial. However, this is not only about the financial side but about all the additional support that should be available. For example, where a grandparent is ageing a bit, if you could arrange for the child to be taken to school and back, that would open up opportunities for many more grandparents to play this role. I warmly support the amendment, just as I did the kinship care amendment—but this is even more important.
