New figures released today show that the number of children taken into care has topped 10,000 within a 12 month period for the first time.
This news is in every newspaper and all over the TV news. You won't have any problems finding it!
However, the statistics were compiled by the Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Services (CAFCASS), so if you want just the facts without the political analysis you can get straight to their website from here. This site is really useful for statistics going back to 2009.
From what I've read this morning most of the newspaper pieces refer back the baby P case as a catalyst for the steady increase in child removals. If you've an opinion you'd like to share I'd be glad to hear it.
