Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps the Government plans to take to help ensure that care-experienced young people will be included in the implementation process following the independent review of children's social care.

The department will now consider the recommendations of the Independent Review of Children’s Social Care carefully with those with care experience and all interested stakeholders. This will include establishing a National Implementation Board that includes people with experience of leading transformational change and those with their own experience of the care system.

The department will publish an implementation strategy later this year, setting out how we will improve children’s social care. More detail about the National Implementation Board will also be provided in due course.
