Gove orders independent review of children's social work

Education Secretary Michael Gove has today written to Professor Eileen Munro formally inviting her to conduct a review of children's social work.

Junior children's minister Tim Loughton and Professor Munro of the London School of Economics are set to announce the remit of the review today, which will include looking at how to remove the barriers and bureaucracy that prevent social workers spending time with children and families.

Loughton is also due to write to all chairs of local safeguarding children boards and directors of children's services to confirm that the overview report and the executive summary of all new serious case reviews should be published in full and anonymised, except where it would affect the welfare of any surviving children and their siblings.
