Anne Longfield, Chair of the Commission on Young Lives, responding to the publication of the independent review into children's social care, said:
"The independent review of children's social care provides the Government with an ambitious and affordable plan to improve a system that is broken, financially unsustainable, and failing far too many vulnerable children.
"The years of papering over the cracks and hoping for the best cannot continue. This is a once in a generation chance to build a better children's social care system that provides protection to every child at risk from harm, and gives every child in care the support they need to thrive and succeed.
