Proceeding contribution from Tony Baldry (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 20 November 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Safeguarding Children.


Safeguarding Children

One of the tasks that the Secretary of State has given Lord Laming is the development of a professional work force. Will he make it clear that Lord Laming will welcome representations from social workers on how they think they can be more effective? Is it not important that the message goes out that this House does not in any way want to scapegoat social workers, and that we are in fact trying to ensure that they have the support they need to carry out what is often one of the most incredibly difficult jobs that society has to do?
