CAFCASS released new figures today showing how care applications differ in number from around the UK.
It has already been suggested that the geographically uneven instances in care applications are due to variations in how social workers interpret the guidelines on what constitutes an immediate threat to a child's safety. Newspapers are inevitably jumping to quick conclusions about what these figures actually mean.
As always with these reports it's best to go straight to the original source and you can view the CAFCASS figures from here.
Also the BBC are covering it by mentioning the findings within the wider context of baby P which doesn't seem unreasonable I suppose.
If you want to share an opinion I'd be interested to hear it.
