The Family and Childcare Trust, an organisation which campaigns to make the UK a better places for families, has released its annual report card and the results are bleak.
Families across the country gave the government a ‘D’, a grade down from last year, when they were awarded a C.
The factors for determining the grade include the following:
- 1. Personal and family attributes, such as parenting skills.
- 2. A decent income and opportunities for social mobility
- 3. Access to family friendly work
- 4. High quality public services, such as schools and healthcare
- 5. A family friendly infrastructure, particularly housing and transport.
Whether looking at education, housing or employment opportunities and work-life balance, the government’s failures to make it possible for parents to raise their children and enjoy a decent standard of living remain unacceptable. Income and housing were the poorest scoring factors overall.
The Trust’s “Where is the most family friendly area in England?” report, is also worth a read. Bath and Northeast Somerset top this list, as the most family friendly location, with Sandwell the least family friendly. Not unsurprisingly, Walsall is third from the bottom, a location many of us assisting on child welfare cases will know well.

Researching Reform 
amazing research into family and children, the family and children’s trust should give some of their time and money to research into the foster carers and children, but then knowing how the system works the down falls for kids with foster cares is a NO GO as they are not recognised as families, its money only. So I will inform the family trust that as a start for carers and kids for them to know, the help line has on the odd occasion heard of a child back with the REAL family, who say that their once loving child is now very cold to speak with, and perhaps will answer with an odd yes or no, no interest in what is going on in the real world, they have no emotions or affections what so ever and for the parents their kids are very traumatised will not speak of the carers or the social that is all a black out, but then kids in care have their brains trained by all of the different Psycos social workers foster carers, in actuel fact kids in care are growing up to become ZOMBIES. But who cares give the kids drugs then throw them onto the streets or under the mental health act as for many this is now happening shove them into mental homes, detention centres or prison’s. All of the money these big charities use just to get their fat wages to do what, nothing.

Wow Maggie.
You are spot on.
The trauma of being removed suddenly from their homes has a massive impact- but this is well known.
Yes to survive, most children in care turn off all emotions and social workers know that once children blank it, then their souls are fragmented and they simply at like zombies. To feel their pain is too much and the soul says enough and the shut down begins.
However when part of the soul leaves due to trauma and the sterile foster system, it opens the way for other entities to fill the space. This is also well known to those in the business.
Its all about the money and murder of the souls of children.

Lady P, statistics have just proved your point. A US study in 2011 has pinpointed that kids in foster care are more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD. 1 in 4 kids were being treated. However that might have something to do with giving medication via Medicaid! Create the problem and then profit from the solution!

If they’d included the ‘Family’ Court system, they’d have had to introduce a new category – Z.
