Children's sector leaders have warned that ministerial resignations at the Department for Education have raised questions over the future of major policy reforms.
Michelle Donelan, former further and higher education minister, was appointed as Education Secretary last night (6 July) replacing Nadhim Zahawi who has become Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Zahawi leaves the role after just nine months and 21 days, following the resignation of a number of senior ministers including former Chancellor Rishi Sunak over the Chris Pincher affair.
