The review should also consider the application of the Children Act for fairness, transparency, and focus on family preservation.
The review should also consider interim care orders and adoption plans as a last resort, options for funding kinship care, and access to legal aid. It should also consider how family support services could be best supported to address issues without removing children unnecessarily.
