"The [@ChildLawProject] authors say that what they saw amounts to a failure by the State to meet its constitutional and human rights obligations toward children. They warn the State is exposing itself to legal challenges as a consequence."

Great to be at launch of @ChildLawProject Falling Through the Cracks report yesterday evening, vital reading. Child protection is the responsibility of everyone, any new government must act like that. Multi-departmental/agency strategy needed to address lack of places in care.

As showcased yesterday by @ChildLawProject, this issue continues to grow as placements in foster become fewer and farther between. More & younger children are entering residential care where education becomes a harder task to accomplish due to instability & lack of resources
"For the first time ever, [@ChildLawProject has] seen cases of young children for whom no foster carer is available; very young children, as young as four years, being placed in residential care; and a ‘waiting list’ for admission to special care.

The @ChildLawProject shines a light into the darkest corners of the care and legal system ensuring that children most in need of state support do not remain invisible.
To discontinue funding now would send entirely the wrong message when it's clearly more necessary than ever
Today @ChildLawProject launched its latest volume of 70 reports bit.ly/3XV3J6t
One of the shortest reports (just 262 words) illustrates the placement crisis
Six placement changes in six weeks for two children aged two and three years

Very worrying to hear that there is no more funding for the work of @ChildLawProject to attend the courts & produce these reports. They reflect the good, the bad and the ugly of what goes on during these hearings. Transparency of the court process is vital for all.
Many thanks to @morningireland for the opportunity to discuss latest (& last) volume of @ChildLawProject reports

Commenting on the care crisis revealed today by the @ChildLawProject, @oco sayd that "the required funding and human resources have not been progressed due to a combination of Government intransigence and neglect of this sector.”
