Children in Care (Custody) Bill

[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill aims to make the law clearer about who is responsible for looking after children who are in the care system (rather than with their parents). It would set out better rules about custody and decisionmaking to protect these vulnerable children and make sure they're properly cared for.

Presented by Mr Stephen Crabb.
