Dear NSPCC,

After the removal of children, At what point do children services give up trying to help the parents better themselves and their home for the children to return.
At what point do children services decide that the parents are not fit or ever will be fit enough to raise their children.
For whatever reason there must be a cut off point in helping some parents.

Or is it not children services role to work with the parents to help the children return home. Is it solely the parents responsibility to find different services, courses, help, advice or counselling for where they went wrong as a parent. Completely up to the parent to find the correct resources and help.

Yours faithfully,

Gemma

The role of children's services can vary and certainly as the information
