Require anti-ableism training & improve transparency in social services

Background

Require anti-ableism training in social services to support disabled parents, and improve transparency in safeguarding decisions.

Additional details

Children’s social services are meant to protect the vulnerable. We think that disabled parents and others from marginalised groups are too often treated with suspicion rather than supported. We think this may cause long-term trauma and diverts resources away from serious cases of child abuse. We think we need a compassionate, just, and inclusive system that helps families thrive.
