The president of the Association of Directors of Children’s Services, Steve Crocker, is urging the government to “do better”
I'm John Warburton with news that increasing numbers of emotionally troubled children in England are being taken into care while the wait for mental health care gets longer, that’s according to the Association of Directors of Children’s Services. The organisation’s president Steve Crocker is urging the government to “do better”, as he reported that local councils were filling some of the gaps in NHS provision, but paying huge fees to do so. For its part, Downing Street says what it calls ‘bold’ reform plans for children’s care are due to be published in the new year. For more care news stay with us here at Care Radio.
