Children's services - the Laming report

The one chink of light in the disaster which passes for children's services under this government is the beginning of a small recognition that the future focus must be on front-line expertise and resources and away from centralised bureaucracy and targets. Anyone who follows UKpopdem policies and objectives knows we have been championing the strengthening of front-line resources across the whole public service. We want to see the bulk of public money attached to the front-line, so the people who do the real work know they are valued and have a proper career path that makes best use of their growing expertise, without having to move into management. In fact management should attract less pay than the most competent front-line jobs. Let's hope the government listens this time and acts.
