The second objective in our #GeneralElection manifesto calls for the next UK government to: 2️⃣ Reform children’s social care to support, safeguard and empower every child. Following the Independent Review of Children’s Social Care, NYAS remains concerned that the proposals lack urgency and ambition. We are calling for long term funding and increased support for the children’s social care sector.🔄 Read more about our manifesto here: https://bit.ly/3X2KGac

As discussions turn towards Government formation, there are a number of key areas affecting children that should be included in the new Programme for Government. Specifically: 👉 Fully incorporating the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child into law. 👉Child-rights-based budgeting and multi-annual budgeting for children’s services. 👉An independent complaints mechanism in the early year’s sector. 👉Child specific homelessness strategy. Critically, the next Government must include a strong and well-resourced Department of Children. Read our full list of priorities for the 34th Dáil term here: https://lnkd.in/dAkZWq5A

Whilst understandably many local authorities will be having a sigh of relief that they do not have to scrabble around for additional funding and new processes ahead of charging reform next year - it is disappointing to see cost of care reform pushed into the long grass for the forseeable. With social care being absent from the King's Speech (other than being inherent in supporting Health to move to a preventative approach) it seems we'll be waiting a little longer to hear what the practicalities around reform will be under the new government. https://lnkd.in/eAW8FjKn
