What it asks

Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to make the Care Inspectorate legally responsible for supervising social work departments, foster carers and children's care homes and give it powers to investigate complaints from family members in relation to any child in care. Within legislation, give parents and other family members/supporters the power to complain on behalf of the child in care without the need for mandates from the child. Give the Care Inspectorate powers to sanction social works/councils and providers of care in care.
