Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will disclose names of individuals and organisations who attended meetings with the Chief Social Worker for Children and Families on the power to test different ways of working provisions of the Children and Social Work Bill; and on what dates such meetings took place.
The Chief Social Worker has met social workers and other individuals and organisations at many meetings, events and conferences to discuss policy and the Children and Social Work Bill more broadly, where the power may have been only one possible area of discussion.
