NEW BLOG: “If we take children ski-ing for 5 days during term time, that’s enrichment and good for them; but parents who take their children out of school for 5 days are feckless, damaging their children’s education and deserving of a hefty fine.” johncosgrove55.wordpress.com/2025/03/16/wha…

Increased awareness & greater transparency in witchcraft cases are important developments, but many key questions remain. What do the figures mean? Are we more aware? The threshold for recording if the case is one that holds potential risk for the child? Where do we go from here?

This is an essential read for anyone involved in NAI cases. I was fortunate to be before an attentive & experienced judge that fully supported my right for M to cross examine the experts. This was the consequence of that respect for the parents Art 6 & 8 rights. Family reunited.

The family court transcript shows that “nobody wanted to challenge the social worker’s report, so it would have been very difficult for the judge not to accept it” #sarasharif

It is well documented that the tragic death of Sara Sharif could have been prevented; she was not a hidden child – she was known to the authorities. As in the tragic case of Victoria Climbié, concerns had been raised and seemingly not acted upon within a multi agency framework.

Having called for this since 2015, it is very good to see barristers now making the same demand. It is fundamentally wrong to take children away from parents before they have had the chance to make the changes professionals have asked them to implement. d23mtoo6rceerw.cloudfront.net/app/uploads/20…

Your regular reminder that ‘child poverty’ is poverty. Children don’t live in poverty in isolation. Their parents are poor, their families are poor, their communities are poor. To eradicate ‘child poverty’ you have to address the causes of poverty.
