2. How much do you know?

Answer 8

The answer unfortunately is no-one.

There is no one agency with responsibility for this work, and no centrally determined strategy from government, despite Every Child Matters: Change for Children, and the National Offender Management Service's Reducing re-offending children's and families pathway (Ref: 2004), which acknowledges the importance of family ties. Local Safeguarding Children Boards have a role to develop a multi-agency strategy to promote the welfare of children, but this is not a distinct priority group.
