Too many children wrongly taken into care, admits chief social worker Isabelle Trowler

Emily Dugan - The Sunday Times

"Babies and children are still being removed from families unnecessarily, according to the chief social worker for children and families in England," says this article from the Sunday Times. "Isabelle Trowler, 53, said social work needed “a reset” because it was 'devastating' for families to have a child taken into care when they did not need to be. She branded as 'an injustice' the practice under which some authorities take away babies who could be safely supported at home."
