The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she plans to implement the recommendations of the Independent Review of Children's Social Care.

Answered by Janet Daby

The department is committed to helping children thrive and wants the best for every child and family.

Reforming children’s social care (CSC) is critical to giving hundreds of thousands of children and young people the start in life they deserve. It is also necessary to achieve financial stability for local authorities.

That is why the government commits to working in partnership with local government to continue the work to reform CSC. The department will build on the foundations already laid by dedicated social care professionals and go further to deliver a social care system that works for everyone.
