Lords Ramsbotham, Listowel and Warner excellently probing on #CSWB changes to secure accommodation law. Lord Warner suggests review.

#CSWB Lord Nash says Ch Act 1989 changes re secure accomm simply "technical fix".

Wrong.

Loss of right to consent & independent review.

Today Peers consider Govt amends to #CSWB. Looked after children losing rights re secure accommodation. No consultation or policy document.

Tomorrow, #togetherforchildren meets to review our campaign against exemption clauses. 292 days between #CSWB 1st Reading & final removal.

Very much looking forward to attending and speaking about children's rights and the removal of the #CSWB exemption clauses.

#CSWB Exemption clauses have gone. Out of the Bill. Removed. (And the sky will not fall in). #togetherforchildren

#CSWB @steve_mccabe slightly rebuked by Dep Speaker for pressing Minister to explain why exemption clauses have been removed.

#CSWB @PeteWishart "nobody knows what's going on" re English votes etc; "beyond a farce".

Work on #CSWB continues. With others, we're supporting @EmmaLewellBuck amendment to curtail changes to CA 1989 re secure accommodation. 1/2

& remember children's social care duties relating to mental health, inc appointment of advocates, are threatened by #CSWB exemption clauses.

Big #togetherforchildren welcome to @SWLLawCentres. That's 52 organisations now standing together to oppose #CSWB exemption clauses.

Former Children's Minister @timloughton adds his name to amendments to delete exemption clauses from #CSWB. Respect and gratitude.

Government adviser walks away from child protection plans A former government adviser attacks plans to allow councils to set aside child protection duties.

Critical stage of #CSWB in Commons next week. Ministers consistently paired exemption clauses with Prof Munro

"We are changing the law to strengthen protections for vulnerable children" - there's that line again. Has Govt spokesperson read the #CSWB?

Duties granted by statutory instrument (2000) and we know how easily they can be amended... #CSWB

More evidence that #CSWB exemption clauses not required to make life better for children.

LaingBuisson told DfE it was "particularly attracted" to probation privatisation model, in its advice on children's social care. #CSWB

Big #togetherforchildren welcome to @siblings2gether. 51st organisation to join our list of those opposing the #CSWB exemption clauses.

How long before child protection and other vital children's services? Removal of statutory duties will no doubt reduce the wait #CSWB

DID YOU KNOW: the individual experts who warned MPs against #CSWB exemption clauses had clocked up 650+ years of working with children.

All in one place. The expert evidence you received on #CSWB exemption clauses:
@edwardtimpson @EmmaLewellBuck

Ability to opt-out of the legal duty to appoint Directors of Children's Services & Lead Members would, of course, sort that. #CSWB.

Amendments tabled by @EmmaLewellBuck to leave out #CSWB clauses 32-39 (exemption clauses):

Meanwhile, we are expected to have faith in statutory instruments & Henry VIII powers when it comes to the repeal of children's law. #CSWB

Hearty #togetherforchildren welcome to Independent Children's Homes Association. 49 orgs opposing #CSWB exemption clauses. Who'll be 50th?

Yet Govt amends to #CSWB passed last week, allowing children to be placed in secure units in Scotland (welfare) due to lack of places here.

Here's the submissions to Public Bill Cttee on #CSWB exemption clauses. Hmm, the invitation said "Have your say":
