Independent Care Review for England 2021

In January 2021, the government launched the ‘independent review of children’s social care in England’. The Review proposes to ‘provide a once in a generation opportunity to transform the children’s social care system and provide children with loving, safe and stable families’.

Family Rights Group believe that the Care Review is an important opportunity to influence proposals for change across the child welfare system in England. We are engaging with the Review and seeking to influence its recommendations, including through contributing evidence and sharing insight from our services and legal and policy experience. We are also working to ensure the Review hears the voices and experiences of mothers, fathers and kinship carers involved with the child welfare system.

You can find out more about the Review and its terms of reference here.
