Abstract
Discusses the findings of the Knowledge Inquiry report "Cooperation or Coercion? Children Coming Into the Care System Under s.20 Voluntary Arrangements", issued on 10 July 2017, exploring how the powers conferred by the Children Act 1989 s.20 are being used in practice and whether the original purpose and intention of s.20 remains relevant. Outlines the report's recommendations for law and policy reforms.
