The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps she is taking to reduce excessive profits in the residential children’s social care sector.

Answered by Janet Daby

Profiteering from vulnerable children in care is unacceptable. As part of the Children’s Wellbeing Bill, the department will strengthen the regulation of the sector to return children’s social care to delivering high quality outcomes for looked after children at a sustainable cost to the taxpayer.
