uin	25599
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/02/2016 answer text <p>At the heart of the government’s agenda for all children is how to safeguard and protect children from harm. An important part of this is the work of the cross-government Ministerial taskforce on Child Protection.</p><p>The Child Protection Implementation Taskforce is taking a comprehensive approach to child protection through looking at the children social care system as a whole. Every stage of the child’s journey in the care system is important to safeguard and protect children. The Taskforce has looked at how we get the best people to deliver the right outcomes for allchildren– in particular through social work reform and improving leadership; through improving systems and practice – building a better performing, more innovative social care sector; and through accountability and governance, looking at how arrangements locally and nationally help to drive a strong and improving system. It is monitoring implementation and driving forward improvements and reform.</p><p>The Department for Education published a paper in January 2016 - ‘Children’s social care reform: a vision for change’ - which outlines the areas of reform the Taskforce has been looking at. This can be found on the gov.uk website at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/childrens-social-care-reform-a-vision-for-change" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/childrens-social-care-reform-a-vision-for-change</a></p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Edward Timpson question first answered 08/02/2016 16:40:45 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/02/2016 answer text <p>Subject to parliamentary approval, the Department for Education has decided to amend the School Admissions Code to support summer born children who are not ready to start school at the usual age. This will delay entry to reception year until they are five years old and enables those children to remain with that cohort as they progress through school. We want to make these changes as soon as possible; however, we are taking this opportunity to consider what other changes it would be appropriate to make to the Code at the same time. We will be conducting a full public consultation in due course.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 11/02/2016 16:36:42 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
