The protection of children in England: action plan - the Government's response to Lord Laming (6th May 2009)
On 12 March, Lord Laming published The Protection of Children in England: A Progress Report. The Government accepted all of his recommendations and promised to issue a more detailed response later on. This action plan sets out the Government's response to Lord Laming’s recommendations. It outlines how all of central Government will work together with local government and front line services including teachers, teaching assistants, school governors, staff in Children’s Centres and early years settings, child care workers and other partners working with children to drive forward reform of child protection services across England.

Neglected Adolescents - Literature Review (April 2009)
This literature review is one of a series of projects jointly commissioned by DCSF and DH to improve the evidence base on recognition, effective intervention and inter-agency working in child abuse and explores the concept of ‘neglect’ as it applies to adolescents. The review draws together information from research in other countries on this topic, and also considers a range of other relevant UK and international literature. It considers the practice, policy and research implications of the literature, and has also informed other products of this project.
