    [1]<\/a> Children who were taken into care are children who started to be looked after under a care order, police protection, emergency protection order or child assessment order. Only the first occasion on which a child was taken into care in the year has been counted, but a child may appear more than once if they started to be looked after in one year, left care and then returned to care in a subsequent year.<\/p>

    [2]<\/a> Numbers have been rounded to the nearest 10.<\/p>

    [3]<\/a> The child may have ceased to be looked after at any subsequent point in time and it is possible the child could have returned to care since ceasing to be looked after. This includes children who, prior to ceasing care, were placed with parents at some point during their period of care.<\/p>

    [4]<\/a> The child was placed with parents at some point during the period of care, however, the child may have changed placements subsequently. This excludes children who ceased to be looked after to return home to live with parents or relatives.<\/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\u2019s 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>

    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\u2019s formal response will be published later this year.<\/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>

    In September 2013 the Government published the \u2018Improving Permanence for looked-after children\u2019 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>

    In 2013 the Department for Education consulted on a range of proposals to improve permanence for looked-after children. Departmental officials have convened a meeting of the relevant expert group on 9 September to discuss these issues and the Government\u2019s formal response will be published later this year.<\/p>

    <\/p>

    The Government has commissioned the National Children\u2019s Bureau and the Centre for Child and Family Research at Loughborough University to deliver an action research project. The project is working with frontline practitioners and families to support improved practice in returning children home.<\/p>

    <\/p>

    This project is complemented by research we have commissioned from the NSPCC and the University of Bristol. Their approach is \u2018top down\u2019, 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>

    Both these research projects will report in 2015.<\/p>

    The Improving Permanence for Looked-after Children consultation included proposals to amend the processes local authorities must undertake when children return home from care.<\/p>

    Any reforms must strike the right balance between clarity in the statutory framework and professional judgement on the part of social workers and local authorities in meeting the needs of children. Some respondents questioned how these proposals would fit with existing statutory guidance in Working Together to Safeguard Children 2013. The Government is grateful for these comments and is looking again at some of the proposals.

    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>
