Question to the Department for Education:
To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to introduce a single unique identifier for children in care.
This question was answered on 9th July 2025
The single unique identifier for children which the government promised in its manifesto is intended to apply to all children, including those in care, and is part of the solution to improve data sharing to stop children falling through the cracks. The legislation to enable its designation and use is currently before Parliament as part of the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill.
