Answering a question from shadow early years minister Tulip Siddiq on if any key organisations and stakeholders had been consulted over the changes to regulations, which were brought in on 24 April, Gavin Williamson replied: “We worked very closely with the Association of Directors of Children’s Services (ADCS) to do everything we can to maintain the best support for all children when they are in care. The sector had asked specifically to make sure there were some flexibilities that were made available to them.”
This is beginning to look like dysfunctional (corporate) parenting. Government says Association of Directors of Children's Services asked for changes to children's law. Association says it didn't. Government says it did. 78,000+ children caught in the middle of this. #ScrapSI445 pic.twitter.com/7GVYFJGttx
