The Minister for Children, Families and Wellbeing, Gillian Keegan, announced a consultation and implementation strategy titled 'Stable Homes, Built on Love', aimed at reforming the children's social care system. The announcement follows visits to children’s homes where she met young people aspiring for better futures. She paid tribute to the hard work of social workers, family support workers, directors of services, carers, and others involved in child welfare. Keegan highlighted the need for systemic change based on reviews like the Care Review and acknowledged the challenges faced by families and children. The government is committed to a £200 million investment to start reforms immediately and build evidence for future roll-outs. The strategy aims to support children within their families, strengthen child protection responses, unlock kinship care benefits, reform the care system, provide support for care leavers, and improve workforce conditions. Specific actions include delivering family help pathfinders, improving leadership in local authorities, publishing a national kinship care strategy, increasing foster carer allowances, consulting on corporate parenting responsibilities, launching an early career framework for social workers, expanding apprenticeships, reducing reliance on agency workers, assembling an expert forum on technology use, and introducing a data strategy. The plan seeks to address urgent issues while laying foundations for future reforms.
