Motion Text

That this House notes with concern the report of Ofsted into CAFCASS East Midlands that determined that `overall, the quality of practitioners' work with children and families is inadequate'; further notes that Ofsted defines inadequate as `where minimum requirements are not met and little or no contribution is made to improved outcomes for children'; is concerned about the many public failings of the child protection system; and calls on the Government to have an urgent public review into how the systematic problems in child protection can be resolved.
