How safe are children in foster care?

The link is to another story about a Foster Carer who abused children in his care. What I am particularly concerned about is how the state gags children in foster care.

Workers in one London Borough have threatened children in care that they won't get flats when they leave care if they speak out about their treatment.

The system is evil in so many ways. That does not mean that there are not good people trying to do a good job. However, they are gradually voting with their feet.

I would love it if there was a place to go where you could report social workers and family court officials who abuse our children. Stark County Canton, Ohio has such a group of uncaring individuals that they have destroyed our family and ruined the lives of my two beautiful grandsons, all because I asked them for help. These people are evil. Everyone knows it but no one will do anything about it.

Trawling the blogs for someone blogging on local government I came across yours. Although your focus seems to be (at present ?) family cases, and mine is social care and health, there are similarities. I hope for the honorable committed workers NOT to leave the system, for the sake of those of us who rely on it - including families and children.

and particularly the comment and my reply, referring to a report by the Committee for Social Care Inspection. I do not know if there is such a committee for inspection of Children and Family matters.

Interesting blog, thank you.

Followers of my blog will have seen the NHS question about how many reorganisations have we had. We've yet another. The number of PCTs (Primary Care Trusts) nationally is to halve. This means merging East and North. (and then probably HoB and south). It would be nice if people would stick with one structure. There is a quotation ( Which sadly does not appear to be a true quotation ) We trained hard . . . but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams we would be reorganized. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing; and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization. But has to have been originated by someone. The web link shown goes through the derivation which appears to be more linked to an anonymous British Soldier WW2 than any Roman or Greek General called by a name perming 2 out of (Gaius, Galus, Petronius and Arbiter).
