Proceeding contribution from David Chaytor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 2 July 2009. It occurred during Estimates day on Looked-after Children.
Looked-after Children
Before we leave the Danish comparison, is there not a deeper cultural issue, which is reflected in how the Danish state sees the status of child care workers? It is similar in the other Scandinavian countries. Is not one lesson to be drawn from the Committee's inquiry, and previous inquiries into the early years phase, that we in the UK have historically dramatically undervalued the status of those working with children? Does that not say something about our national cultural attitude to the importance of child rearing in our society?
