Herefordshire Council’s children’s services ‘appalling practice’ is set to be highlighted on a BBC Panorama next week.
Louise Tickle investigates how social workers make critical decisions about children’s lives, and hears from families who have been damaged by decisions made by one local authority, which Your Herefordshire understands will be Herefordshire Council.
With more children in care in England than ever before, and the government about to publish a report on the deaths of two toddlers at the hands of their parent’s new partners, Panorama investigates how social workers make critical decisions about children’s lives.
Granted rare, exclusive permission from the family courts, reporter Louise Tickle hears from families who have been affected by decisions made by one local authority.
The programme will air on BBC One on Monday 16th May at 8pm.
