The Munro Review of Child Protection: Final Report A Child Centred System

This is the third and final report of the Munro review of child protection which started its work in June 2010. This report stands alone and it has been presented to ministers; the government is due to respond to its findings and recommendations later this year. It is unlikely that the review will lead to immediate changes to the child protection system but the philosophy of the review indicates a significant move from a centralised system that has become over-bureaucratised and focussed on compliance, to a localised one that values and develops professional expertise and which is focussed on the safety and welfare of children and young people.
