Anne Longfield will deliver speech giving damning indictment of social care system
The children’s commissioner for England will deliver a damning indictment of children’s social care in a speech on Tuesday and accuse the state of too often being a “bad parent”.
Anne Longfield, who is coming to the end of her tenure, has become increasingly vociferous about the shortcomings of the care system, which she accuses of failing thousands of vulnerable children who are falling through the gaps and into the clutches of criminals.
