Dame Rachel de Souza, has today published the first part of her Independent Family Review – a review into contemporary family life commissioned by the Government.
Launching the report she said that ‘family provides a shield from life’s challenges – a protective effect against adversity’.
Part 1 of the Family Review sets out some of the things that need to change to improve family and children’s lives.
Part 2, which will be published in the coming months will explore further how services can be designed to better support families’ needs. In the meantime, the office of the Children’s Commissioner will look at reviewing the Family Test to make it fit-for-purpose, conduct further research on family support and services, and develop a high-level outcomes framework.
