Oh I don't f*cking believe It.....
Government could abolish all council social care duties
Quote:
The public has been asked to judge which duties should be abolished and which should be kept.
Included in the list are duties to:
• Assess people for community care.
• Offer a carer's assessment.
• Consider the needs of disabled people.
• Provide welfare services.
• Investigate suspicions that a child is being harmed.
• Keep a child in care when a care order has been made.
"If anyone thinks the government is not serious in its [right-wing] ideological position then they should check this list," said Peter Beresford, chair of service user organisation Shaping Our Lives.
"It could take us back to year zero."
Family court guardians and lawyers have hit out at the consultation, with one lawyer branding it “sneaky”, “insulting” and “deeply concerning”.
