Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 9 March 2018 to Question 130540, on Foster Care in England Independent Review, if he will publish the specific evidence reviewed by the Narey Review into Fostering which recommended the addition of Independent Reviewing Officers.

The department will not publish the views and experiences of individuals. A summary of the call for evidence was published alongside the independent review. The independent reviewers, Sir Martin Narey and Mark Owers, drew their conclusions from a broad range of evidence they collected from a number of individuals and organisations, some of which was provided confidentially. It is for organisations to chose whether to make their evidence public and some have done this.
