Children: Protection

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families whether staff of his Department made any representations in respect of Lord Laming's most recent report on safeguarding prior to its publication; and if he will make a statement.
Answer

As is common practice, officials in this Department were kept informed about the development of Lord Laming's independent report and were given the opportunity to comment at key stages. We ensured that Lord Laming received the resources and support that he needed to complete his report which was independent and is based on the evidence provided to him from a wide range of sources.
