This document sets out the Government's detailed response to Lord Laming's report, "The protection of children in England: a progress report" (HC 330, session 2008-09, ISBN 9780102958928) and its action plan to achieve the step change in the arrangements to protect children from harm that Lord Laming recommended. Sir Roger Singleton has been appointed the Chief Adviser on the Safety of Children and will report annually to Parliament. A National Safeguarding Delivery Unit is to be established to give strong co-ordinated leadership, provide support and challenge to local authorities, promote dynamic learning and good practice development and to monitor progress. More rigorous inspection arrangements have been designed by Ofsted, and the Care Quality Commission and the inspectorates for constabulary and probation are also reviewing and extending inspection methodologies. Local leadership and accountability will be supported through the Children's Trusts, Local Safeguarding Children Boards, Directors of Children's Services, local authority chief executive and council leaders. The wider public has a role to play too and the views of local communities will be sought. The standard guidance - "Working together to safeguard children" - will be revised by the end of 2009 to incorporate these changes. Support for the front line will cover: early intervention in schools and children's centres; information sharing and assessment; specialist training in child protection for police; health service including health visitors; social work reform, including reform of the Integrated Children's System and measures to address the problems of recruitment and retention of children's social workers in local government. Delay in care proceedings will be reduced. The action plan responds to each of Lord Laming's recommendations.
