Munro review of child protection

On 31 October 2011, the government published Safeguarding children in the reformed NHS: a co-produced work programme with Department of Health, Department for Education and other key stakeholders.

The programme builds on extensive input with stakeholders and sets out how key issues will be addressed in the coming months. Its aim is to ensure continued improvement and development of effective arrangements to safeguard and promote children's welfare as central considerations of the health reforms.

A joint letter from Anne Milton and Tim Loughton confirms the commitment of the two departments to ensure robust arrangements for safeguarding children in the NHS of the future. Partners are invited to contribute their views on the work programme at Safeguarding children.
