answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/01/2020 answer text <p>Securing further improvement in the quality of the children’s social care system is a priority. We welcome the contribution both of these reports make to these efforts. Whilst local authorities are responsible for the deployment of child and family social workers, the government is continuing to invest in practice improvement. This includes our £84 million investment in the Strengthening Families, Protecting Children programme; and securing better research and evidence about practice and the social work workforce such as through the What Works for Children’s Social Care. Our large-scale longitudinal study of child and family social workers will provide significant insights into the experience of child and family social workers and will help both the government and employers identify priorities for action.</p> answering member printed Lord Agnew of Oulton grouped question UIN HL318 question first answered 27/01/2020 17:48:19 answering member 4689 label Biography information for Lord Agnew of Oulton
