| The National Children’s Bureau (NCB) has published an analysis of children’s advocacy in child protection cases. It highlights research findings which demonstrate that in a significant number of cases involving death or serious abuse, the child’s views had not been properly considered. NCB are calling for a change in the law giving children the legal right to an independent advocate who can fully express their views in suspected cases of abuse and neglect. |
