- Once children have moved from carer there seems to be no urgency in resolving allegations
- Timescales not followed (should Ofsted raise this in inspection?)
- Police treat as low priority when there is little evidence
- LADO is key but inconsistent across local authorities; what if the agency takes the opposite view to LADO?
- Cross county LADOs and police make things more difficult
- Ofsted JTAI that includes police inspectorate that focuses on allegations
- New practice guidance (multi-agency?), what already exists?
- Resource-led (removal)
- Carers resign, can IFA accept earlier than 28 days?
- What if the panel disagrees with the agency view of the carer?
- Support for carer; therapeutic social worker, FosterTalk (but helps if they know agency), independent SW, buddying with carers who have had allegations and continued fostering
- 'Running towards carers rather than away from them'
- Do Ofsted think children should automatically be removed?
