This is how broken the care system for children is.
256 children in care from Wakefield have been sent to live outside the district.
356 children in the care of other councils have been sent to live in Wakefield.
This is the impact of privatisation.

More than 600 children removed from their family homes, who must also say goodbye to everything they have ever known, through no fault of their own.
Local authorities must be held to account.
So too must @theNAFP and the Independent Children's Homes Association, whose members do this for profit. Keeping children close to their birth families makes less profit.

This displacement of hundreds of children and young people is taking place all over the UK. Sadly, there is nothing exceptional about Wakefield.
This has nothing to do with child protection. It is purely a consequence of the marketisation of foster care and children's homes.

Very few, if any, of these moves across country will have been signed of by a family court or form part of a care plan.
Very few children (if any) will have had any say in these decisions.
