Article Abstract:
There have been many inquiries over recent years into alleged cases of abuse of children living in residential care homes in the UK. However, children in these institutions are still in considerable danger. New scandals continue to emerge, and there is a clear failure of those in authority, both at national and local level. Deregulating the system and placing control in the hands of local bodies will do nothing to improve the situation.
