I'm challenging the idea that a local authority can be a good parent, or should be.
(MARGARET MCKAY )
For vast numbers of children, public care is in limbo; sometimes family ties are severed, accidentally and unnecessarily; at other times children linger in dangerous circumstances, emotional or physical. Widely differing cases have caused notoriety.
Graham Fawcett examines the uncertainty which plagues social work with children at risk, and hears about pioneering methods and about the tragedies. This documentary includes a unique interview with the Director of Social Services for the London borough recently in the headlines because of the death of little Lucy Gates.
