Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what policy and legislative changes his Department has actioned as a result of the work of the Chief Social Worker for Children and Families since 2013.
The Chief Social Worker for Children and Families provides independent expert advice to the department on children’s social care issues and social work reform. She was a key contributor to the development of our departmental strategy, ‘Putting Children First’, which was published in 2016. She is closely involved in the implementation of this strategy, which sets out our ambitious children’s social care reform agenda.
