Looked after Children, Care Leavers and the
Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Bill
Welcome and Introductions
Sean O’Neill (Policy Director at Children in Wales and co-ordinator of the LOOKED AFTER
CHILDREN HEALTH EXCHANGE) introduced the format of the session, the aims and
anticipated outcomes from the workshop. Delegates introduced themselves.
Format of the Session
This is outlined in Appendix 1
Participants and Apologies
20 professional members attended this workshop from the health sector, third sector and
Government
Speaker 1 – DAVID CLAYTON, SENIOR POLICY LEAD, CHILDREN’S SERVICES,
WELSH GOVERMENT
David provided the group with a brief overview of the development of the Social Services
and Well-Being Bill, the scrutiny stages undertaken to date and the commitment of the
Deputy Minister and Welsh Government to transforming the way in which services are
delivered to children, young people and adults, together with the ways in which people are
engaged with such services.
The legislation will have a three tier structure.

Key points (in respect of Looked after Children)


Statutory Guidance currently in place will be reviewed, remade and replaced. In the
context of health, this will include A Stable Life and Brighter Future guidance (and
accompanying regulations)
The Code of Practice will bring together Statutory Guidance in one place to support
implementation of the Bill
It is to be determined whether there will be a single over-arching Code of Practice
comprising a number of volumes (as supported implementation of the Children Act
1989) or a services (series) of Codes.(
Part 6 of the Bill largely consolidates and restates existing legislation
Some parts of the Children Act 1989 remain outside the powers of the Welsh
Government e.g.in respect of court orders. However, the UK Government’s Children
and Families Bill is also delivering reform reform in respect of court orders and other
aspects of the family justice system.
Part 6 will not lesson existing obligations and duties
Existing legislation is comprehensive and well structured
Regulations to support the Bill will consider entry into care, in care arrangements,
transition from care and independent living. Regulations will also focus on
placements, including foster care, residential care and family-friends care etc
Definition of Well-Being for children has been embedded in legislation for 10 years.
This has been revised and updated and this will also apply to adults
Care plans will become Care and Support Plans. Regulations will set out the key
elements of the Plans e.g. timing, content and review. Health and education
outcomes, contact arrangements and Independent Visiting will also be considered.
Presently, local authorities have a number of plans – health, education, mental health
etc. The Bill includes provision to enable these plans to be integrated into a single
plan.
New provision requiring local authorities to secure sufficient accommodation to meet
the needs of Looked after Children

David outlined the current timescales for the further development of the Bill. These
were set out as follows 






The Bill is currently going through the National Assembly’s Legislative process with a
final vote due to be taken by Assembly Members in early 2014.
Policy intent for all major Regulations underpinning the new system will be
developed whilst the Bill is progressing through the scrutiny process. Sign off the
policy intent in late 2013.
Royal Assent of the Bill is anticipated in March 2014.
Consultation on subordinate legislation will begin in early 2014-15
The making of subordinate legislation, including Regulations, priority codes and
guidance will commence in 2014-15.
This will be followed by training in the new duties and transition to the new
system in 2015/16.
The Welsh Government intends for the bulk of the Bill to be implemented by April
2016.

Stage 2 scrutiny of the Bill will begin in early October following a debate in Plenary.
The debate is planned for 8th October
There will be a large number of Welsh Government amendments to the Bill
The DM has already indicated through a Written Statement that there will be an
amendment around Advocacy
Stage 2 will provide an opportunity for non-government amendments to be put
forward
Stage 2 scrutiny will again be undertaken by the Health and Social Care Committee
and conclude in December.
Two half-day and a full day session has been set aside by the Committee to consider
the amendments
No decision has been made as yet as to how the amendments will be grouped –
possibly thematic?
The Deputy Minister was hopeful of publishing the Govt. amendments shortly to
provide opportunity for AMs and stakeholders to consider.
Some work has already started in respect of developing the Eligibility Framework
Stage 3 will commence in the new year
Though the Bill is scheduled to be implemented fully by April 2016, sections of the
Bill will be put forward for implementation following Royal Assent in March 2014
The policy intent to underpin the Bill will need to be completed by December 2013.
Consultation process will begin in early 2014

Speaker 2 – SEAN O’NEILL, POLICY DIRECTOR, CHILDREN IN WALES
Sean’s presentation focused on the conclusions and recommendations from the reports of
both the National Assembly for Wales Health and Social Care Committee (July) and the
Children and Young People Committee (May) in relation to the elements pertaining to
Looked after Children and Care Leavers. This was complemented by a number of the key
issues provided to Committee through oral and/or written evidence during Stage 1 of
scrutiny1.
Timelines we set out as





January – Bill was referred to the H&SC committee for consideration
February – H&SC committee requested that the C&YP committee to scrutinise the
Bill
C&YP Committee did so – 2 sessions held in April – Report submitted to the H&SC
Committee in early May
H&SC Committee – took written and oral evidence up until June and published the
report in July
Final published report contained 61 Recommendations
In considering the recommendations relevant to Looked after Children and Care Leavers,
delegates were asked to consider the statement by the First Minister that the Social
Services Bill would be the vehicle to strengthen the government’s approach to
supporting looked after children (July 2012)
One of the questions for today therefore was does the Bill deliver the Welsh Government
stated aims in respect of looked after children and care leavers?
General principles
Does the Bill, in respect of LAC/CL, meet the 4 general principles – that of

Consolidates existing legislation. Simplifies and clarifies duties to aid the effective
delivery of social services




Promote partnerships and closer, more integrated working between local authorities,
and between local authorities and other partners, including NHS providers
Strengthens national direction and increased consistency of access to and provision
of social services with an enhanced prevention and early intervention role for local
authorities and their partners to prevent or delay the need for care and support
Promote the empowerment of service users – enhancing their voice and control
The following key sections and issues were put forward for delegates to consider -
PART 6 - Services for looked after children and accommodated children





CYP Committee considered whether Part 6 of the Bill was an appropriate update to
existing duties and appropriately consolidates existing legislation.
The Explanatory Memorandum states that provisions in Part 6 of the Bill update and
clarify obligations and duties towards LAC
(during Committee) it was put forward that Part 6 of the Bill does very little to alter
existing legislation and does not address some of the current shortcomings
(There is) partial consolidation of existing legislation and replication of some sections
of the Children Act and Adoption and Children Act, BUT could this cause confusion
and complication amongst social workers and practitioners? Does an attempt to
simplify legislation lead to alter interpretation?
Section 88-94 - Categories of care leavers. (during Committee) issue were raised
around the terminology –– H&SCC called for more appropriate terminology to be
considered and Welsh Government are receptive to hearing alternatives being put
forward
Overarching issues we need to consider
Access to services
 Power to charge 16-17 year olds - this should be removed and will undermine the
intentions of the Bill and restrict access to advice, information and services
 Power to charge families for information, advice and assistance as well as for
preventative services (could deter people from accessing services) – H&SC
Committee called for greater clarity on the circumstances in which charges could be
imposed for services
Here it was noted that a Local authority in England are consulting on plans to charge parents
up to £900 per month if a child is taken into care on a voluntary basis or non-crisis situation.
It will also considering charging for certain services designed to keep children within their
own family – child over 16 may also be asked to contribute to the cost of their care – there
are some exemptions BUT....)
8

Partnership working – should the responsibilities of other partners to work together to
deliver social care services to children be more explicit on the Bill? Danger that only
social services will remain accountable in the absence of duties on other partners in
the Bill? E.g. to other local authority services and local health boards. Without clarity,
is there potential for disputes between agencies as to who is responsible arise? Will
the Bill deliver the multi agency response needed?
H&SC Committee called for governance and partnership arrangements to be
prescribed through regulation to prevent disputes AND was persuaded by the
evidence in favour of fully integrated health and social care, calling for a separate bill
to be brought forward as is currently being considered in Scotland. This could also
include provisions around pooling budgets and greater sharing of resources between
local authorities and local health boards.
User voice and control
 Advocacy services on the face of the Bill? Weakness in the Bill no references to
independent advocacy other than in relation to complaints. The Children’s
Commissioner for Wales, through his Missing Voices review called for the need for
children and young people to have better access advocacy support and raised
concerns around awareness of advocacy amongst children and young people.
H&SC Committee welcomed the Welsh Governments commitment to bring forward
an amendment around advocacy and called for these details to be made available
before the start of Stage 2.
Fostering to adoption provision
 Discussion around the need for securing earlier permanence for children– but does
the Bill provide for this?
 Concerns raised around the timescales on fostering to adoption in the Bill. Written in
its present form this will not be in the best interests of children who may have to
move twice before being placed with their permanent family .This concern is also
stated within the context of C14 of Children and Families Bill which brings care
proceedings into the 26 week timescale .There will not be sufficient time to make
fostering to adopt placement .
 Fostering to Adopt could also face challenge by birth family members under Article 6
and 8 of Human Rights Act in respect of making pre emptive decisions on placement
for adoption prior to court direction.
 Concerns that fostering to adoption is being confused with concurrency placements.
 Calls for the Bill to include provision for local authority to have a duty to consider as
part of a permanency plan for children, placements with carers who could become
the child’s permanent carers where this is in the child’s best interest
And what about the following.....
9











Placement of children and out of country arrangements
When I’m ready scheme – transition to adulthood - remain with former foster carers
in a familiar supported setting as an alternative to supported lodgings
Sibling contact (sec 79-80) when placed separately - section needs strengthening
Portability of care plans
Management and review of cases
Suitability of accommodation
Choice and availability of independent visitors
Views of children and young people in review meetings
Foster care
Unannounced inspection of care homes
Role of residential care homes for children – not seen as a last resort
Finally, other areas of significance raised during scrutiny
 Repeal of Section 17 and Part 3 of the Children Act 1989 (impact on Disabled
Children) and loss of Child in Need
 Preventative services – shift of focus and resources over time to rebalance the
system with more towards early intervention and preventative services from acute
services. Need to strengthen the preventative duty on health services to match that
on local authorities
 ‘People’ agenda – common set of processes for people or separate arrangements for
children and adults? – Potential impact of any loss of focus on children and children’s
services. Possibly leading to the interests of children being overshadowed by those
of adults
 National eligibility criteria – key to whether the Bill delivers its stated intentions –
await further details around this
 Safeguarding Boards (issues around merging regional adult and children’s boards –
H&SC Committee say this should be removed and national boards should be
separate)
 Removal of the ‘reasonable punishment’ defence –the majority of the Committee
didn’t believe that this Bill is the right vehicle to pursue this issue
 Alignment for the assessment process to avoid duplication.
ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION GROUPS
Four tables were established and a set of questions were provided to assist delegates to
focus their discussion.
10
Speaker 3 – KATE CARR, NSPCC CYMRU/THIRD SECTOR POLICY OFFICERS
GROUP
Kate’s input focused on the discussions which have taken place within the NSPCC Cymru,
and their engagement with other children’s third sector organisations as part of the NGO
Policy Officers Group, and with both children and adult organisations through the Social
Services Advisory Group.
The key concerns shared included











The need for a clear and robust set of principles on the face of the Bill
Concerns around the lack of definition of ‘Person in Need’
The implications of the loss of Child In Need from legislature without the above
definition
Section 6 of the Bill in relation Prevention and the need to strengthen links with
Health to ensure a multi sector response is delivered.
Safeguarding Boards – concerns around the potential merger of children and adult
boards at a local level, the relationship between the National Board and the local
boards and the structures of accountability
The absence of housing and independent living within the definition of well being.
The need to ensure all elements of the relevant sections of the Children Act are
sufficiently translated into this Bill in respect of engagement with and services for
children and young people
User voice and control section and outcomes needs to be strengthened for LAC and
should specifically ensure that the views, wishes and feelings of Looked after
Children and the outcomes they wish to achieve are heard.
Some of the sections of the Bill are insufficiently direct – many of the ‘may’ do should
be amended to ‘must do’
Advocacy services and arrangements must be included in the Bill, these are
essential to safeguarding, even more so for LAC
‘When I’m ready’ scheme – the clear intent and the principles which underpin this
scheme should be included to enable roll out of the scheme.
Speaker 4 – DR. CAROLYN SAMPEYS, BAAF MEDICAL ADVISORYS GROUP AND
CARDIFF & VALE HEALTH BOARD
Carolyn delivered an informative presentation from a health perspective, and the key role the
health sector performs in relation to delivering services for looked after children. The Social
Services and Well Being bill, we are informed, will ‘transform the landscape in Wales’. In
this context, the following broad questions were put forward
 What’s helpful?
 What’s missing?
 Is there enough concentration on LAC?
11
 What’s on our wish list?
 Start from scratch
The presentation then set out the following Where are the problems?
× Out Of Area placements
(Issues around consistency, variability in services and the need for continuity)
× Variable resources
(Inconsistent budgets, different funding streams)
× Variable services
(No uniformity - there is no one prescribed service to meet the health needs of looked after
children)
× Funding issues / commissioning issues
(Who funds? Who is responsible? Inconsistent and variable, Different interpretations of
guidance and regulations)
× Notification
(There is no consistent and agreed pathway that all partners are adhering to. Stable Life
attempts to achieve this but is not sufficiently prescriptive, only ideals)
× Performance Indicators
(These need to be revised as they are no longer measuring the effectiveness of the services
that the health sector is providing)
What’s working?
 Specialist LAC nurses
(A real achievement has been made since Stable Life. However, capacity remains an issue
in some areas and there is variability across LHB areas)
 Multidisciplinary teams
 Interagency working
 Lead professionals
(Yes, but there is variability between Health Boards e.g. no lead paediatrician for looked
after children in some LHB)
 Networks
12
Areas to consider
 Services to meet needs
(Services should be sufficiently responsible and have the capacity, resources and ability to
meet the needs of looked after children in their health board area)
 Provider and Commissioner responsibilities
(The commissioning guidance which supports the objectives set out in Stable Life should be
reviewed to ensure that payment is effectively following the child and that receiving health
boards have the services in place for all vulnerable children as well as in response to an
individual child’s need including carrying out health assessments when requested)
 Partnership working
(Is this working consistently and robustly as intended?)

National Adoption Service

Change in Regulations?
– LAC
– Adoption
Issues regarding health services for LAC

LAC health provision across Wales
– Age groups
– Care leavers

LAC Teams
– Ideal service?
– Lead Paediatrician within Health Boards
– LAC Specialist nurses
– Accountability?
What COULD we do?
 Out of Area pathway across Wales
– Placement Panel?
(There is variability in the operation of Placement Panels – not working as designed
in Stable Life)
– Notification
(In some areas there is a voluntary arrangement for notifying the local authority and
health board of a young person’s placement and any changes to this)
– OOA requests
13

Responsibility of Health Boards
– Clarity over who should provide a service
– Clarity over who pays for the service
– Tariff
– Quality Standard
National Adoption Service

National
– National Board
– Health representation

Regional collaboration
– Medical Advisory role
– Adoption Panel – approvals
– Logistics/ workload

Local
– Medical Advisory role
– Adoption Panel - linkings
Speaker 5 –
FREDA LEWIS, DIRECTOR, FOSTERING NETWORK WALES
Freda opened the discussion with a direct plea – implementation!
 Implementation
It was recognised that there is a significant amount of legislation, policy and guidance
already in place as it impacts on looked after children and care leavers yet there remains
significant concerns as to how existing duties are being implemented and actions effectively
monitored. The Social Services and Well Being Bill is generally welcomed but it must deliver
real improvements for looked after children and not be an exercise simply in policy making.
 National Outcomes Framework
The successful development and implementation of a national outcomes framework for
social services is key if real change is to be achieved. A framework which all services have
a duty to work towards will help eliminate variability and inconsistencies and allow us to
effectively measure the outcomes for looked after children and care leavers.
 Foster Care Placements
Given that the majority of looked after children are placed in foster care, why is there so little
in the Bill in respect of this. This is a considerable omission and we will be looking to inform
14
the codes of practice to ensure that foster care receives sufficient recognition as is required
and takes into account the strong evidence base which seeks reform in a number of areas.
 ‘Like Everyone Else’
Evidence continues to highlight the significant barriers looked after children face when
seeking to engage in an activity or experience which requires permission. Many children
placed in foster care miss out because foster carers are not allowed to make many
decisions. There is an urgent need for reform and for this be to addressed. Calls will be
made for foster carers who have a child in their care for 6 months of more to have ‘assumed
delegated authority’ which will automatically give foster carer’s permission to make all
decisions which they legally can apart from those identified.
 ‘When I’m Ready’ Scheme
Whilst welcoming the ‘When I’m ready ‘scheme , it is not mandatory and this must be
addressed. The principle of supporting children during the transition phase from care
towards adulthood and for there to be an option for them to remain with their foster carer
should be widely supported. Mandatory guidance is needed yet there remain significant
barriers still in place preventing this being achieved. The complexity of the benefit system,
moves towards Universal Credit and that Welsh Government do not have power over these
issues are some of the identifiable barriers currently frustrating progression.
ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION GROUPS
Three tables gave consideration to the final set of questions provided for delegates to help
focus their discussion.
Roundtable Discussion
Key priorities and issues captured by flipchart
 Placement stability – not always achieved
 78% of LAC are in foster care placements – should be recognised
 Shortage of foster carers
 Welsh Government need to implement the Recommendations of the NAfW Report
into the enquiry into the placement of looked after children
 Independent statutory advocacy – should be prominent in the Bill
 CSSR – this local authority database can only be a tool to aid the placement process
but how well is it working? Will the WLGA maintain this resource? It is only as good
15
as the information made available and will always require dialogue to supplement the
decision making process. Should this be addressed on an all-Wales basis?
 National outcomes framework – need to get this right and consistently implemented
 Section of legislation and policy are not being implemented as planned. There needs
to be a greater robustness in the monitoring arrangements to ensure legislation is
delivered as intended. Too many ‘may’ or ‘can’ in guidance leads to inconsistent and
variable practice.
 Great availability of quality accommodation for care leavers required
What is working well?
 Good suite of legislation – this needs to be protected – through there are gaps
 Some good practice and partnership working but not on a consistent basis
 Development of a Charter for LAC and Care Leavers
 There is the ‘will’ to move forward in Wales and make the necessary changes.
Wales is small enough to make a difference
What are the key issues and areas for improvement?
 When I’m ready scheme – must make sure this is not lost and the principles behind
the scheme are taken forward
 Too much emphasis on flexibility e.g. foster carers supporting young people in the
community
 Legislation and guidance promises so much but under delivers
 Social services are presently operating in a crisis. Social workers do not have time to
always support Looked After Children in either foster or residential placements and
as such carers can be left to get on with it.......
 Assessments are not always consistent and timely as intended
 Services to support LAC are not always or consistently available
 Improvements are needed in the work undertaken with families and their on-going
involvement in care planning
 Insufficient resources available
 Variable services across Wales
 Corporate parenting – greater ownership needed by all including Housing, Police,
Education, Health
 CAMHS services and provision – barriers to access
 Advocacy commissioning arrangements are not consistent
 Are services determined by cost or their effectiveness in achieving noticeable and
sustainable improvements and measurable outcomes
16
 Transition to adulthood for disabled children who are LAC – lack of clarification.
Concern that ‘when I’m ready’ arrangements will delay transition to specialist adult
services. Residency issues.
 Should be a greater duty placed on local authorities and their partners – if an
intervention is known to achieve positive results, why does it remain and option?
 Performance indicators – need to include some qualitative measurements and will
need to link to the developing outcomes framework
 Should be designated roles in children’s health services and a greater consistency of
shaping teams which are determined by better outcomes for LAC and care leavers
 Portability of assessments across services
 There was also a strong message that in order to achieve implementation there
needs to be a greater emphasis on ‘duty to...........’.
 Should be a duty to consult with education, health and young people prior to an out
of area placement
 Voice of the young person is often missing. Need to incorporate National
Participation Standards
 Charging of services in relation to looked after children should not be considered.
Not cost effective and negatively impact on levels of child poverty
 Need to consult young people around the categorisation of care levers – do not
support the term ‘category’ and do not support current terms of ‘former’ and
‘relevant’.
 Charging for services is not clear in the bill
 Better partnership working between local authorities and health on a consistent basis
 Health is not one body. Need to be more specific in terms of which parts of health
should be responsive
 Should health for LAC be a primary health need
 Multi agency teams – the most appropriate person should undertake the assessment
 Child benefit – what happens when a child is in care? Child benefit should follow the
child and not be absorbed back into the Treasury
 How does the Bill support Directors to bring in other agencies
 The bill needs to reflect the statutory duties in the CA1989 and also the WG draft
guidance on a model of advocacy for Wales that was published in 2009. In this WG
established the terminology of ‘Independent professional advocacy’, distinguishing it
from formal advocacy. Since that definition is now used, the bill needs to reflect this
in outlining statutory duties by using the terminology of Independent professional
advocacy- not simply advocacy.
17
 Is there a need for a national strategy for Looked after Children (as there has been in
Scotland)?
 Overall it feels that in light of what we know to have gone wrong for LAC there should
be a higher level of commitment in Wales to do better!
