I know their record is appalling, but I can't help thinking this is what the government has planned for all local authorities.
After promising that money for child services was ring fenced, and managing to make all sorts of unpopular cuts using this stance, my own LA have now announced plans to close all childrens centres, reduce the number of social workers by an absolutely unworkable amount and only bring children into care when they would hit the headlines for not doing so (ok, those weren't there exact words!!)
Yes I'm cynical but I can't help wondering which coalition MP has a buddy with links to the Independent Trust which is taking over childrens services in Doncaster.
