	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2018 answer text <p>Ministers and officials regularly meet key stakeholders, including Directors of Children’s Services (DCSs), to discuss policy issues relating to the department’s agenda. For example, I recently met with DCSs and Local Authority Chief Executives at the National Children and Adult Services Conference, held roundtables in the department with groups of both DCSs and Chief Executives, and have attended induction events for new DCSs, the last one being in October 2019. In addition, my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of the State and I have very recently met with a number of children in care to hear their views and experiences. The department recognises how important it is to speak directly with those who are on the front line, delivering services for children and families.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 20/12/2018 17:18:11 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
