answer text <p>Secure Children’s Homes provide specialist care in a secure environment for some of the most vulnerable young children in England to protect them, and others around them from harm, including girls at risk of child sexual exploitation.</p><p>In light of the growing demand for placements of children considered vulnerable, it is important that the system of provision sufficiently meets the changing needs of children that need to be placed in a secure setting.</p><p>The Department for Education is conducting a review of Secure Children’s Homes to examine the current and likely future need of places and what changes, improvements or new forms of provision may be required to ensure those needs are met. We have also announced steps to improve practice, such as better data collection on children who go missing.</p><p>Through the Innovation Programme we have also invited proposals for new ways of supporting vulnerable adolescents, including a number of bids that seek to prevent Child Sexual Exploitation.</p><p>The Department has recently consulted on changes to children’s homes regulations to introduce new Quality Standards. This includes a specific standard setting out that children are to be protected from harm and enabled to keep themselves safe.</p><p> </p><p>We are also undertaking wider reforms to social work practice, including the development of new assessment and accreditation system which will provide a practice based career pathway for children’s social workers in England, announced by the Secretary of State at the recent NCAS conference and an expansion of schemes like Frontline – which will improve the quality of social work.</p>

answer text <p>A robust assessment of the needs of a child and their family and how these needs will be met through ongoing support from the local authority is crucial if children are to return home safely and successfully from care. The Care Planning, Placement and Case Review (England) Regulations 2010 are clear that the child’s care plan must provide details of the advice, assistance and support that the responsible authority intends to provide after the child has returned home. Working Together to Safeguard Children 2013 sets out the principles and parameters of a good assessment. [1]</p><p>Improving practice when children return home from care is a priority for the Government. In 2013, we consulted on a range of proposals to improve permanence for looked-after children. Department for Education officials convened a meeting of the relevant Expert Group on 9 September 2014 to discuss these issues and the consultation response. The Government’s formal response will be published later this year.</p><p>[1] <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/working-together-to-safeguard-children" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/publications/working-together-to-safeguard-children</a></p><p> </p>

answer text <p>Permanence is achieved through a successful return home, however, we know far too many children re-enter care. The Government is seeking to address this through a better understanding of data, undertaking research to improve practice and strengthening the statutory framework where necessary.</p><p> </p><p>In September 2013 the Government published the ‘Improving Permanence for looked-after children’ data pack[1], which encourages local authorities to consider their own systems and processes for returning children home and to improving their rate of success.</p><p> </p><p>In 2013 the Department for Education consulted on a range of proposals to improve permanence for looked-after children.

Their approach is ‘top down’, working with senior practitioners to implement a specific model of support for children returning home, developed and tested by NSPCC. This research will build on earlier work by NSPCC and includes a focus on implementation science, identifying savings and efficiencies, and developing a practice model that can be used by local authorities without the need for specialist support from the NSPCC.</p><p> </p><p>Both these research projects will report in 2015.</p><p> </p><p>[1]<a href="http://www.gov.uk/government/publications/improving-permanence-for-looked-after-children-data-pack" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/publications/improving-permanence-for-looked-after-children-data-pack</a></p>

answer text <p>The Government's Improving Permanence for looked after children consultation closed on 29 November 2013. Since this date the Department for Education has continued to work closely with key stakeholders to explore the complex issues put forward within the consultation. These include fundamental changes to the statutory framework and we want to ensure widespread support before we publish final proposals. The Department has continued to work with our expert group which includes: foster carers, representatives from NSPCC, Family Rights Group, Who Cares? Trust, NCB Fostering Network, BAAF, NAFP, Association of Directors of Children's Services, and leading academics in the field. We plan to publish the Government's response soon.</p><p> </p> more like this
