On 2 February 2023, the Government published an implementation strategy and consultation on reforming children’s social care in England: Stable Homes, Built on Love.

The final report of the Independent Review of Children’s Social Care, published in May 2022.
The final report of the Competition and Markets Authority’s market study into the children’s social care market, published in March 2022.
The Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel review into the deaths of Star Hobson and Arthur Labinjo-Hughes, published in May 2022.
