Background
Many parents report feeling powerless and misrepresented in interactions with social services. Recordings would provide accountability, support fair assessments, and protect both families and professionals. It may reduce wrongful child removals and rebuild trust in the system. Failings from social services can have devastating consequences, including loss of life.
