The report calls for a reset of children's social care so it can act decisively in response to abuse, support families in crisis and ensure children and young people in care have lifelong loving relationships and homes. Read the full report In response to the recommendations from the review, we have set out actions to strengthen the children's social care system. This includes ensuring more social workers are onsite in schools to help you support the most vulnerable children with their learning and attendance, alongside continuing the designated safeguarding lead supervision programme to strengthen working between social care and schools.
