Probing the Case for Change

摘要

The Case for Change was published recently as the first consultative document to emerge from the Independent Review of Children's Social Care. It doesn't offer firm proposals about the changes the review might eventually recommend, rather, it lays out the broad scope of what's been heard and learned in the first three months and the critical problems that will need to be addressed, and poses some key questions about which we are all asked to contribute our thoughts and expertise. Case for Change is compellingly written. It raises many of the huge systemic factors that I know many in the sector feared would be 'out of scope' or beyond the contractual terms of the review.
