Vulnerable children: Education and health ministers to be quizzed by Lords committee
Tuesday 2 November
What plans does the government have for a national strategy to tackle child vulnerability?
That is one of the likely questions when peers hear from Will Quince, Minister for Children and Families, and Maggie Throup, Minister for Vaccines and Public Health, tomorrow (Wednesday 3 November at 3.00 pm) as the House of Lords Public Services Committee concludes its inquiry into vulnerable children and public services.
The committee will hear also from Fran Oram, Director for Children’s Social Care, Practice and Workforce at the Department for Education.
Other possible questions include:
- How will the Government support local authorities to restore early intervention spending to 2010 levels?
- Does the government share Dame Andrea Leadsom’s vision for a Family Hub in every community, and if so how does it expect local authorities to pay for them?
- What measures will you introduce to support agencies working with children to improve performance, integrate services and share best practice and learning?
The session will be live on Parliament TV.
