Question to the Department for Education:

Her Majesty's Government whether they will publish the current detailed business plans of those sections of the Department for Education dealing with child welfare.

The department has recently responded to the Public Accounts Committee on this question. The department agrees it is appropriate to set out its vision with timescales, as it has done in ‘Putting Children First’. The department will also produce a roadmap of how the Department intends to transform services, which will be a publically available document. This will address the challenge in the NAO report and set out more clearly a timeframe for delivery of the reforms.
