The Children and Families Truth Commission launched its first report about the state of child protection in the UK on 15th November, 2024, in the House of Lords.
The report evidences serious human rights violations inside children’s social care which have become so routine that they are now embedded into the practice, and culture, of child protection.
The event began at 4.30pm and finished at 6pm.
