    NCB statement on the Review of Children's Social Care

    The Review has not shied away from the challenge, addressing knotty issues like multi-agency working, the huge and unnecessary barriers to sharing information about children, and the broken care market. But now we need urgent action from Government to embrace these plans.

    After nearly a year of collective effort by the children's sector - led by the Children and Young People’s Health Policy Influencing Group (HPIG) - NCB and Council for Disabled Children are delighted that babies, children and young people will now be an integral part of the Health and Care Bill.
