Children's social care in England will be revamped with more early support for families, backed by £200m extra funding over two years, ministers say. Last year, a major review, led by Josh MacAlister, warned tens of thousands more children could end up in care without reform and £2.6bn more funding. It was put together in response to recommendations in Mr MacAlister's and other reports, which followed the murders of Arthur Labinjo-Hughes and Star Hobson in 2020. Berni Dixon, cousin of Arthur Labinjo-Hughes, joined us this morning to discuss the announced plans.
