House of Lords written question – answered at on 10 October 2005.
asked Her Majesty's Government:
How they monitor the regularity of visits by social workers to children in care.
Information about social workers' visits to individual children is collected by Children's Services Authorities (CSAs) as part of the regular review of each child's case. This information enables CSAs to monitor their own performance as part of their quality assurance arrangements. Visits by social workers to looked-after children are not measured as part of the regular monitoring of children's services performance, but CSCI does inspect CSAs, quality assurance arrangements. The irregularity of social work visits was highlighted in the recent report of the Second Joint Chief Inspectors' Children's Safeguards Review Report.
