Open Require weekly physical examinations of babies in local authority care

Created by Emma Marion McIntosh
Closes on

We want the UK Parliament to pass legislation that requires nurses to carry out weekly physical examinations of all babies who are living under the care of local authorities, including babies in the foster and adoption system.

We call for weekly examinations of babies in care to help reduce the risk of child abuse by foster or adoptive parents.
