I just find it mind-boggling that 16 was introduced simply as guidence.Equally hideous is the fact that it placed no new obligations on local authorities.In the final paragraph, "compromise" is the key term.How naive could one get? I do agree though, with most of you who say 16 is a huge improvement from the bad old days-I particularly capitulate in the face of comments from Achingknees.What I will say though is that the overall ethic behind 16 is morally wrong and, in practise, is nothing short of a limp cop-out on the part of central Government and speaking as a member of the public-a national shame.
