| The Department for Education has published a report on Local Safeguarding Children Board chairs’ perspectives on responding to the recommendations in the Munro Review. Findings include: 86% of LSCBs are positive about developing a child centred system and moving towards a system with greater trust and responsibility at a local level; and just over four fifths of LSCBs said government should be clearer about priorities in light of current austerity measures, as well as providing ring fenced funding for children’s social care services. |
