Children's social care: stable homes, built on love

We are setting out our vision for reform of children’s social care. The strategy is based on recommendations from 3 independent reviews.

We are seeking views on:

• support and protection for children and families
• support for kinship carers, and wider family networks
• reforms to the experience of being in care, including corporate parenting
• support for the workforce
• delivery and system reform

Children and young people are encouraged to consider the questions in our children and young people’s guide.

We are consulting separately on:

• a children’s social care national framework and dashboard
• proposals for the child and family social worker workforce

A British Sign Language (BSL), captioned and audio version of the executive summary of this strategy and consultation is available.
