Recommendations of the Independent Inquiry into Foster and Kinship Care

Following The Carer Project contacting John Darley in 2021 about the abuse of power by DCP, John Darley introduced the Independent Inquiry into Foster and Kinship Care bill which became law in December 2022.

The Inquiry was conducted by Dr Fiona Arney (who was selected by Fiona Ward, Deputy CE at DCP). Carers are dissatisfied with Dr Arney’s Report Recommendations that was 6 months late and was provided to us in December 2022.

While John Darley is no longer in parliament, he and his former Advisor Ted Lee are strong supporters of children in care. 

Many people do not believe Dr Arney’s Report Recommendations would not make meaningful changes for children in care.

Mr Darley and Mr Lee wrote a submission we are referring to as the “Darley Response”. This response details a complete structural change to DCP that provides checks and balances that are independent of DCP.

 

These legislative changes would make a huge difference to your listeners who want to deconstruct the stranglehold DCP has on power.

 

we hope that you will get behind this campaign and email and share the campaign with others concerned about children in care!
