Education and Adoption Bill

Proceeding contribution from Madeleine Moon (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 22 June 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on Education and Adoption Bill.

In my previous life I placed a number of children for adoption. Quite often, mental health problems were one of the key things that needed to be tackled, because of people’s experiences before they came into the care system. Does the Secretary of State accept that mental health remains a major issue that is not being widely tackled within the care system? Children who have been through the care system are five times more likely to take their own life. The Bill does nothing to address that. Can we please consider that at some point in the passage of the Bill?
