Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what discussions he has had with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on funding for the care system in response to the independent review of children's social care.
On 23 May 2022, the Independent Review of Children’s Social Care published its final recommendations. On the same day, the department set out the actions it is taking to improve children’s social care and committed to publishing a detailed and ambitious implementation strategy in due course.
As the department develops an implementation strategy, we will consider the recommendations carefully, including cost implications and where legislation might be required.
