Require child social service visits to be unannounced and include physical check

What the petition asks
The law should require that social service visits for at-risk children be unannounced and must include a physical examination of the child to spot any bruising or signs of harm. They should be required by law to remain at the child’s place of residence until this has taken place.
I am saddened by the cases of children who have been abused and killed. The cruelty they suffered is beyond imagination.
