Family Life & Major Government Invasion

Government surveillance of all children, including information on what they eat is headed your way. Experts say it is the biggest intrusion in history into the role of parents. Doctors, schools and the police will have to alert the database to a wide range of "concerns". Two warning flags on a child's record could start an investigation. There will also be a system of targets and performance indicators for children's development. Children's services have been told to work together to make sure that targets are met.
