Conclusion
This change in the law would be of particular relevance to children in care, because there would be increased protections for children before they enter the care system, potentially allowing for concerns in home environments to be identified and flagged to local authorities at an earlier stage. Further, there would be increased protections for children leaving care or moving across Great Britain. (Conclusion, Paragraph 201) 104
