As we experience yet another cabinet reshuffle, we’ve added a list of names for those positions which include elements of child welfare.
These appointments were announced on February 13, 2020, in a statement issued by Downing Street.
The official page which houses full details of ministers by department has not yet been updated, so it is possible that some changes may take place between now, and when the page is finalised.
Noteworthy developments include the removal of Kemi Badenoch as Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Department for Education, to Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury and Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Minister for Equalities) in the Department for International Trade.

I am very sorry to say that somebody needs to be held responsible for taking children way from loving families, for little or no reason, this needs to stop ASAP , is this through corruption, or just because they can ! It should be looked into immediately and addressed not just left, it’s criminal to just keep leaving people and children to suffer, ….these children are left to suffer throughout their lives, grow up with issues , I am sick of saying these things, and you and government ignore it, it’s like a catch 22, cos they grow up believing parents either didn’t care or just did nothing to prevent this happening, then the whole circle starts all over, social services then follow the children , when they become parents, they are a target for social to home in on these kids and then want to remove their children too ! Pls do something about it….I would be more than willing to talk to anyone to get this changed !

Reading all the comments one can see the where the problem with government lies. The lists of names and departments are meaningless as they are lead by self serving charlatans interested only in their own political advancement and not in the problems being suffered daily by the general population.
The Courupt Family Court is the classical example of a bad government. When I make that accusation I include all political parties no matter their colour, they are all guilty blue, red ,yellow, they are all the same.
They sit on the green benches and act like a gaggle of geese. Few have anything to say that really relates to those outside. Now and again we hear a speech delivered that contains a little semblance of sense but it is as if the speaker is talking to the brain dead. Years ago someone once said, and I paraphrase “Give the IMPRESSION that you care about the nations children and you will be able to get away with virtually anything” . This is the present attitude of politicians. It was not in a speech from parliament but written in a book by one of the most evil of men, Adolf Hitler in Mien Kamph.
1000’s of parents are suffering but those elected to office have their ears filled with wax devoid of the ability to hear the cries of those mothers and fathers suffering the pain inflicted by this evil of corruption.
I have often heard the phrase ‘a good social worker” to me there is no such person. If one social worker is aware that another has lied and they do not complain publicly then they to are guilty of the evil that has been done.
There is a system built on the premise that it is easier to blame the victim than to fully investigate the guilty. One sees this as a constant within the Family Courtts. The victim is seen as the easy target. It defies all logic when if a mother/fatherhas been in care it follows in their, the SS and courts minds, that they are damaged beyond repair. The logic of this twisted line of thought is obvious, if the system failed the parent then the same system will fail the child, creating a steady stream of victims, allowing the system to breed another batch of victims to fuel further corruption ad infinitum.
