In July 2016, my Department published ‘Putting Children First’, in which it set out the Government’s initial response to Sir Martin Narey’s review of residential care in England, including plans to invite local authorities to come together to bid to pilot new commissioning arrangements, and to undertake a national stocktake of foster care. The Department will respond more fully to Sir Martin’s review, and the other recommendations he makes, later in the autumn. ‘Putting Children First’ can be found at:
