Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, when she expects the next meeting of the Children's Social Care National Implementation Board to take place; and whether she, or a Minister in her Department will plan to attend that meeting.

The next meeting of the National Implementation Board is due to take place on Monday 27 February 2023. I will attend and chair the meeting, in my capacity as the Minister for Children, Families and Wellbeing.
