Another Nail in the Coffin?
Imagine you're a parent looking after your child. The other parent has never paid any maintenance for the child. You applied to the child support agency months ago and are still waiting for them to deal with your application. Imagine your joy this morning as you see in the news that Child Support Agency staff are going on a 48 hour strike. Not that I'm necessarily blaming the CSA staff - they are doing a difficult job under enormous pressure - but surely someone is to blame whenever a strike takes place, whether it be employers, employees, or both. Meanwhile, parents looking after children continue to suffer financial hardship, which must in turn adversely affect the children themselves. Is this not just another nail in the coffin for the Child Support Agency?
