Some more opinions on the "Adoption Tsar"

More opinion on the Narey proposals

Some more opinions on Martin Narey as "Adoption Tsar", from the Guardian, generally
considered the social worker's newspaper here in the UK

"his views have offended social workers and been criticised as too simplistic"

""wading under-qualified into a highly complex area and producing a reactionary,
simplistic take on it"

and from Jean Milsted at Norcap

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/aug/02/adoption-long-term-emotional-impact

There's certainly not a 100% backing for Martin Narey's proposals amongst social
workers, his support comes mainly from politicians with no more understanding of the
realities of adoption than Mr Narey and who are keen to find the cheapest solution
for the problem of children in care, rather than the best for each individual child.
I think the only thing everyone agrees on is that current child care / protection
system is a tragic mess
