Birth Companions’ response to the Case for Change
Responding to the Independent Review of Children’s Social Care
The Case for Change is the Independent Review of Children's Social Care’s report on their early thinking about what needs to change in the children’s social care system.
The document sets out the evidence that has been gathered since the beginning of the review. It is based on input from more than 700 people with lived experience of children’s social care, around 300 people working with children and families, 932 responses to the Review's Call for Advice and 207 submissions to their Call for Evidence.
Birth Companions has responded to the review expressing support for many elements of the Case for Change and making recommendations on key issues to focus on in the next phase.
