Safeguarding Children

Published: Wed, 06 May 2009 00:00:00

The Government announced on May 6 a wide ranging package of measures setting out how it will deliver the step-change in child protection called for by Lord Laming in his recent progress report.

The action plan commits to greater openness and public scrutiny of local child protection arrangements, as well as more investment in training and support for front line social workers.

This reform will be driven forward by a new cross-Government delivery unit working alongside Sir Roger Singleton, the first ever Chief Adviser on the Safety of Children.

You will be able to access it by following this link - www.everychildmatters.gov.uk/laming.
