On the other side of the Pennines in Rochdale we have seen the exposure of child sex rings who were allowed to operate partly because of systemic social services failings.<br /><br />Into this atmosphere comes a tip off that two of your foster carers are UKIP supporters. There's nothing to suggest they're racist or anything but capable of looking after children. However, the kids temporarily in their care are non-white and are from overseas.<br /><br />Also, bear in mind the Prime Minister himself has branded UKIP "closet racists" (an opinion he did not retract when given the opportunity to do so yesterday), and that the legislation is very clear concerning the cultural needs of children from different ethnicities.<br /><br />What would you do?

I also think we have many people speaking out of ignorance of all the facts and that the people with the experience will know better than morons and opportunists how best to deal with these issues.<br /><br />Now here comes the but, and you may need your lawyers for this bit. I sat in a meeting with Joyce Thacker, that so called custodian of the law and childrens needs, in which she asked how we could get round the law in withdrawing home to school transport from vulnerable children. <br /><br />Yes the well paid Strategic Director of Children and Young People's services was activley trying to reduce services by subvertig the law.
