The Children’s Care Review, which has been set up to examine the current state of the children’s social care sector, has launched its website and announced the individuals sitting on their “Experts By Experience” panel.
The website offers an introduction to the Review’s work, and the Review’s chair, Josh MacAllister, and provides the latest developments at the Review, much like the current inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse.
The “Experts By Experience” panel, comprising of 16 individuals who have experience of the care system was announced today, and include Chloe Robinson, a 17-year-old girl who is still inside the care system; Judith Denton, CEO of The Transformed You; Chris Wild, a prominent campaigner for children in care; and Sean Geoghegan, a founding member of the National Association of Young People In Care.
The panel also includes a range of people who have not experienced care directly, and include a former social worker turned adopter and kinship carer; a trustee of the charity Family Rights Group; and a researcher who has advised the current government on policy for children in care.
These appointments are likely down to the government feeling they need to oversee and steer those on the panel, which, as with the child abuse inquiry, could lead to heightened tensions and ongoing conflict within this panel.
The Review’s page for the panel, while featuring a BAME woman at the top of the list, fails to place the children and young men and women on this panel at the very top together, which seems to highlight the government’s and the Review lead’s ongoing deafness to the nuances in the sector.
Joining Chloe Robinson on the panel as a young person in care or with care experience, are: Rhiannon Parkinson, Charmaine Orchard, Asif Salarzai and Jerome Harvey-Agyei.
Another new appointment was also announced. Shazia Hussain, who is a civil servant, will head up the review team which is made up of civil servants from across various government departments but does not go on to say who has been appointed to the review team.
And we don’t mean to be picky, but, terrible URL.

Kinship care, should be respected and supported.
Separating families is soul destroying and has indelible life markers that carries into adulthood.
Ancestride is adoption,
When adoption takes place, all life’s being and meaning and God given inalienable human right to know who you are, and where you come from, and your ancestry is wiped off the face of the earth.
A pseudo family is created, with all that entails.
Let me not blame adopters.
Let me blame the instigators of adoption, the mores of the day, the sociologists and governing bodies that embrace separating babies/ children.
Yet this nation and the world outcry, when a lady gags is separated from her dogs.
Our nation wants to imprison those who steal dogs from their owners.
The NATION cries this horrendous theft, causes such trauma from this separation for the dog.
Ahhhhhh,
I rest my case.
as a mother of loss to adoption 54 yrs ago.
A bottomless abyss of sorrow.

Its likely to be one big waste of Taxpayers money, only benefiting the professionals on the panel.

These appointments are likely down to the government feeling they need to oversee and steer those on the panel, so we imagine it won’t be long before we see heightened tensions and ongoing conflict within this panel.

It does not look very promising in the name of justice and transparency for future Cases.
When will the ones/the children affected whose had Family Court(s) make decisions for them get a voice?
It’s not happened in the last 20 years from what I’m aware of and I know this from 1st hand experience and knowledge where a child fast approaching adulthood had his requests to Family Court alongside his mother (natural) go ignored.
So even by the time a child gets older, who gets a say supposedly with their data being shared/they can apply themselves for their data aged around 12 years old; but when it concerns Family Court it seems to be a case of no can do.
So is the child entitled to their information now under GDPR or not Xxxx

There needs to be a change how the system works I have been abused by my social worker I was a victim of domestic violence he seems [edited] has physically assaulted me to grab my phone out my children at risk of significant harm and think there the law upon there selfs they should wear cameras to protect the public and them selfs then reports can’t be lied as it’s all recorded , for domestic violence tgere needs to be more understanding help them mothers move away from the situation. Mother’s are scared to speak out woukd rather be murdered then call the police because children are being removed from the mothers care then the victim is the one being abused by the local authority this needs to stop before blood is on the governments hands
