Children's Services

"Please keep me safe" A progress report on the protection of children in England

This report was written by PWC for the DfES who wish to develop an evidence-based strategy for  developing the market in children's services.

This report provides an overview of key themes emerging as councils and their partners in local areas work to deliver services that improve outcomes for children and young people.

This report by the DfES reviews the market for fostering provision i.e. children cared for by approved foster parent agencies or with a local authority rather than cared for by friends and family.
