with the report into the deaths of star hobson and arthur labinjo—hughes soon to be published, there manage the delicate balance between removing children quickly to keep them safe, while supporting families to stay together wherever possible. the action that we should be taking is let's find out what's happening, let's make a measured judgement about it. if a family needs help, let's try and get that help for them. ok, you ready? the best social work is when parents are supported to be parents and then, the profession has the time to use the skills that they have to do what needs to be done — whether it's removing children or providing support services and keeping children happy and safe in their family. the department for education says it's: it says it's announced millions of pounds of: herefordshire council says it wants to: it says "urgent change is a top priority and it plans to reduce "case loads, recruit more staff and improve leadership, "so children and families get the quality of support "they need." but you've already eaten them, haven't you? i've not! for families and ch
