Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to the oral statement of 23 May 2022 on the Independent Review of Children’s Social Care, how and when the membership of the National Implementation Board will be determined.

The department is considering the recommendations made in the Independent Review of Children’s Social Care carefully with those with care experience and all interested stakeholders. We will publish an implementation strategy later this year, which will set out how the department will improve children’s social care. This will include establishing a National Implementation Board that includes people with their own experience of the care system.
