Proceeding contribution from David Kidney (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 8 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Children and Young Persons Bill [Lords].
Children and Young Persons Bill [Lords]
In a little while, I hope to catch your eye, Mr. Deputy Speaker, to speak about new clause 26, which relates to support for children on the edge of care. However, the hon. Gentleman talks about support for children at risk of going to prison, but there is one stage missing on the list that he has read out. It would be immensely helpful if social workers turned up at court with the children for whom they are responsible, so that magistrates effectively had the representative of the parent in front of them.
