The Times warns of 'social worker apathy' and adoption.

If any of you break stuff after reading the title of the post then please don't send me the bill - I'm just doing my bit by highlighting the issues. And remember I'm on your side.

The Times (you know-the newspaper run by that oh so nice Mr Murdoch?) has been running a campaign for a while now to make adoption easier. Well the government this week appointed Martin Narey, former Bernado's boss, as 'adoption Czar'. His first act has been to produce an overview of the problems which the adoption service currently faces and The Times has used this to highlight what they refer to as 'social worker apathy'.

You may think that this isn't a great week to be publicising a moral campaign in a newspaper owned by News Corp and you may be right, but any of you dealing with children in the care system will probably be interested in the outcomes.

Because The Times is pay-per-view online I cannot provide a link straight to the articles but you can see them all by using our newspaper database called Newsbank. I used the keyphrase, "adoption czar" to find relevant results. If you need any help with using Newsbank then just ask.
