Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether his Department has plans to conduct a review of support available for vulnerable children.

The department has committed to undertake a review into children in need, to understand the challenges these children face and the support available to meet these challenges through schools and children’s social care. This commitment was made in the ‘Unlocking Talent, Fulfilling Potential’ Social Mobility Action Plan in December 2017. The action plan is viewable here: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/667690/Social_Mobility_Action_Plan_-_for_printing.pdf.
