Speaking in the House of Lords on 20 May 2025
Debate
Children’s Wellbeing and Schools BillContribution
It is crucial that kinship care, and the option of kinship care, is not tested during proceedings—that is too late and would delay things. Court proceedings are not there to test this; they are there to make decisions and to make an order. The family group decision-making process needs to be as early as possible, when there are concerns about a continuing child protection plan that the kinship carers can become part of. Can the noble Baroness comment on those points in her response?
