2009 was a dynamic year for children and young people's policy, and the momentum is set to continue throughout 2010. The final report of the Social Work Taskforce, set up by the Department for Children, Schools and Families in January 2009, was released in December and it makes 15 recommendations for improving social work, with major implications for how social workers operate in the children's sector.
In addition, the sector has the implications of the Pre-Budget Report to take on board. On the legislative front, the Child Poverty Bill, the Equality Bill, the Children, Schools and Families Bill, the Crime and Security Bill and the Children's Rights Bill form a considerable list that many NCB members and the sector in general will need to keep abreast of, as each bill has the potential to impact considerably on children and young people in Britain.
