Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what discussions he has had with the Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel following the case of Child Q.
My right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education has been clear that this is an unacceptable incident which should not have happened.
My noble Friend, the Minister for the School System, Baroness Barran regularly meets with the Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel’s Chair to discuss a range of issues, cases and themes from serious incidents that have been brought to the department’s attention.
The Secretary of State also meets regularly with the Chair to allow for the opportunity to talk about pertinent cases, such as Child Q.
