The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what progress she has made on responding to the recommendations of the Law Commission's review of disabled children's social care.

Answered by Josh MacAlister

In line with the protocol agreed between the Lord Chancellor and the Law Commission, the department provided an initial response to these recommendations within six months of publication. This will be followed by a full response within 12 months, which will set out how government will address the issues raised by the Law Commission.
