Anne Longfield plans to recruit retired staff to help vulnerable children amid coronavirus crisis

The children’s commissioner for England has called for an army of volunteers to help support children’s social care during the coronavirus crisis in an effort to stop the most vulnerable falling through the gaps and disappearing from view.
