The Government is taking account of the recently published final report from the independent Cass Review.<\/p>

<\/p>

The government gave a commitment to update the statutory guidance \u2018Promoting the health and wellbeing of looked-after children\u2019, and to extend it to care leavers up to age 25, in the \u2018Stable Homes, Built on Love\u2019 strategy for the reform of children\u2019s social care. The update forms part of the wider mission in the strategy \u201cto reduce the disparities in long-term mental and physical health outcomes and improve wellbeing for care-experienced people\u201d. This commitment was reaffirmed in September 2023.<\/p>

<\/p>

Work is underway to understand how the current guidance is working in practice and where changes are necessary. Timeframes will depend on the scope of changes needed. The Department for Education and Department for Health and Social Care will keep relevant stakeholders in the health and children\u2019s social care sectors updated as the work progresses.<\/p>

The government has invested billions in local services. This year alone, the total social care grant for local government is over £2 billion. In the \u2018Stable Homes Built on Love\u2019 Strategy, the department outlined its plans to build on the strengths of current early help and Child in Need services, through the creation of Family Help.<\/p>

The department is investing £200 million in Children\u2019s Social Care reforms, including £45 million for the Families First for Children Pathfinder programme, which will test how multi-disciplinary family help teams can improve the support that children and families receive. The pathfinder will inform the next stage of the department\u2019s reform programme which will look to deliver transformation more widely.<\/p>

The department also announced over £1 billion of funding for programmes to improve early help services, including delivering Family Hubs.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4703", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Barran"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Baroness Barran"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-12-04", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-12-04T16:15:01.183Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-11-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Social Services: Children"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to increase investment in early intervention and prevention as part of children\u2019s social care reform.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4878", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for The Lord Bishop of Manchester"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "The Lord Bishop of Manchester"} ], "uin" : "HL417"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1671293", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1671293/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

In February 2023 the department published its consultation and implementation strategy, \u2018Stable Homes, Built on Love\u2019. This sets out the department\u2019s plans for a system-wide transformation of children\u2019s social care, and details how the department will help families overcome challenges, keep children safe, and make sure children in care have stable loving homes, long-term loving relationships, and opportunities for a good life.<\/p>

To support local authorities to meet their statutory duty to ensure there is sufficient provision for children in their care, the department has announced £259 million capital funding to maintain capacity and expand provision in both secure and open children\u2019s homes that provide high-quality, safe homes for some of the most vulnerable children and young people across England. The department has allocated a portion of the £259 million capital funding to open children\u2019s homes enabling a total of 69 projects to be delivered, which will create an additional 350 beds across this sector.<\/p>

The department has also committed to developing a core overarching set of Standards of Care for fostering, children\u2019s homes, and supported accommodation. This will help simplify the regulatory landscape, raise quality, and ensure there are consistent safeguards across different types of settings.<\/p>

The department will develop a programme to support improvements in the quality of leadership and management in children\u2019s homes, including exploring proposals for a leadership programme to attract and train new talent.<\/p>

In addition, the department is investing £10 million to develop Regional Care Co-operatives (RCCs) to plan, commission and deliver children\u2019s social care placements. Through operating on a larger scale and developing specialist capabilities, the RCCs will be able to develop a wider range of places to meet children\u2019s needs better.<\/p>

The department is also making good progress on addressing challenges relating to the retention and recruitment of social workers, which is key to supporting the delivery of the wider children\u2019s social care reforms. This includes introducing an Early Career Framework to better support newly qualified social workers to meet the challenges of child and family social work, increasing the number of social worker apprenticeships, and supporting local authorities with their retention and workload challenges. Alongside \u2018Stable Homes, Built on Love\u2019, the department also published a consultation on a set of rules for local authority engagement of agency child and family social workers. The response to this consultation was published on 25 October 2023 and sets out a set of national rules intended to increase workforce quality and sustainability. The department will consult on statutory guidance on the technical detail in Spring 2024. These reforms are in addition to the department\u2019s £50 million annual investment in recruiting, training and developing the workforce.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4703", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Barran"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Baroness Barran"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-12-04", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-12-04T16:40:34.883Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-11-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Social Services: Children"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the report by Josh MacAlister The independent review of children\u2019s social care, published on 23 May 2022; and what progress they have made in improving council-run homes in the children\u2019s social care system given the findings of that report.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4878", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for The Lord Bishop of Manchester"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "The Lord Bishop of Manchester"} ], "uin" : "HL418"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1657630", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1657630/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Government notes the statement by African Faith Leaders and we are working with our G20 partners to ensure swift progress and effective implementation of debt treatments under the Common Framework to deliver a long-term, sustainable approach to dealing with debt vulnerabilities. The Paris Club and the G20 have been clear that private creditors must participate in restructurings on terms at least as favourable as those provided by the official sector.<\/p>

The UK is also championing greater transparency around sovereign lending and borrowing, which plays an important role in supporting the debt sustainability of developing countries. While adhering to the G20 Operational Guidelines for Sustainable Financing and OECD sustainable lending principles, the UK has also put addressing the nexus between climate and debt at the top of its international agenda through pioneering the use of climate resilient debt clauses (CRDCs).<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4726", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Penn"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Baroness Penn"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-09-12", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-09-12T13:14:50.99Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-09-04", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Africa: Debts"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the statement by African Faith Leaders on 8 August calling for a reduction of debt across African countries.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4878", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for The Lord Bishop of Manchester"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "The Lord Bishop of Manchester"} ], "uin" : "HL9807"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1657631", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Home Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1657631/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
