One would have hoped that the Minister would not try to make party political capital when talking about such serious issues.

I hope that the Minister will at least agree that the role of social workers in child protection is critical. How confident is she that the current level of training for social workers is adequate, and that the standard is the same across the country?

The level of training in UK is and has been appauling,compared to other countries.

Go and see the level of education required to get into training.

I know drug users, cleptomaniacs, half literate beings training to be social workers, so how can anyone feel confident that our children are in safe hands in the future.
