Proceeding contribution from Baroness Verma (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 16 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Children and Young Persons Bill [HL].


Children and Young Persons Bill [HL]

We strongly support the idea that local authority provision of care should be compliant with relevant human rights legislation, but we are not certain that the IRO is the appropriate person to do this. I agree with the noble Baroness, Lady Walmsley, that it is a question of having sufficient training to monitor human rights law compliance. Can the Minister explain what steps the Government are taking to ensure that compliance occurs?
