Children's social care national framework and dashboard

We're consulting on the children’s social care national framework and dashboard indicators.

Last fetched 03 May 2026 · gov.uk
Detail

The government has committed to provide clearer national direction for children’s social care. As part of this, we’ll create a national framework and dashboard.

The national framework sets out the outcomes that children’s social care should achieve, and our expectations for what leaders and practitioners in local authorities should do. It will be supported by the dashboard, which will become a routine data publication.

This consultation asks for your views on the national framework and proposed dashboard indicators.
