The Government has published its reponse to the Munro Review of Child Protection. The response was formed by an independent working group composed of local authority children's services, social workers, education, police and health professionals.
The response is a first step on the journey towards creating a sustained long term reform of the child protection system. It aims to improve outcomes for the most vulnerable children and young people.
The full report can be viewed here: Munro Review of Child Protection.
