Re: CSJ 'green paper' on the family [1 Attachment]

[Guest guest]

Hi , thanks for this I have just read the dcsf green paper and have flicked through the doc you attached . I am disapointed to find the conservative green paper more comprehensive , indeed I wondered whether they had a plant on senate as the document seems to take so many senetors comments on board . I think margaret commented on feeling let down by the labour govt having had high hopes. I entered health visiting believing the new labour govt was committed to narrowing inequalities and offering a real and exciting opportunity to make a difference . I do believe that there was an original commitment to eradicate child poverty and obviuosly that takes generations , however it seems to have at the very least lost impetus. I still can't bring myself to vote for the Tory party but if others decide to en masse it might make for a brghter HV future (typed with gritted teeth) thanks it's good to know what lays ahead , best wishes SharmanSent from my iPhoneOn 4 Feb 2010, at 14:56, Cowley <sarahcowley183@...> wrote:Not to be outdone, the right-leaning think-tank the Centre for Social Justice has also produced what it is calling a 'green paper on families. It covers similar ground to the official government green paper, but seems far more readable, whether or not you agree with the policies. It includes a large chunk about health visiting, pressing for it to be returned to statute and for all families to have a minimum of 10 (ten) contacts.Attached, or down-load from www.centreforsocialjustice.org.ukbest wishes Cowleysarahcowley183@...http://myprofile.cos.com/S124021COn <CSJ Green paper on the family WEB.pdf>
