I will respond quickly to one other point raised by the noble Baroness, Lady Barran. To be completely clear, multiagency child protection teams are based on qualified and experienced social workers. I know there has been concern that there will somehow or other be an undermining of their role. They will always act as lead child protection practitioners. Yes, they will work alongside family help, but where a child needs a protection plan the family help lead practitioner themselves should always be a social worker.
