The MP Phillip Hollobone for one has called for an immediate investigation as to how this was allowed to happen.

Should it be found that it is unacceptable for people to foster children who cannot speak their language or share a common religion how will that impact on the plight of child refugees?
It will be said that we cannot accept any child refugees as we cannot adequately home or support their complex needs....Sometimes you have to read between the lines to see what is really there.

it is highly unlikely that this would have an adverse affect on rehoming refugees mainly because most speak some English and I doubt even a refugee would be rehomed in a home where they couldn't communicate.

You are presuming a lot there Cherie, should they not speak English what is to happen to those children?

This family can speak English though and they are still being considered as unsuitable as they speak their own language in front of the child...confusing the child.

My fear is we're being duped, if it's found the public are in favour of not allowing English 'Christian' children to be fostered with Muslim families then I would say that that will then be flipped to apply that Muslim children cannot be fostered to English families whose cannot communicate in the language of the foster child as that is what 'the public' want.
