Lexis®Library update: According to the Commission, the aim of the review is to simplify and strengthen the law to ensure it works for parents, care givers and local authorities. The Minister for Children, Families and Wellbeing, Claire Coutinho, has specifically asked for a solution to the patchwork of current legislation, improvements for how the law on social care for disabled children fits in with the law relating to children’s social care more broadly and a route to review the outdated language and definitions underpinning the current law. The Commission intends to release further information on the scope and timeline of the review once the project is formally agreed.
