On 12 March, Lord Laming published The Protection of Children in England: A progress report. The Government accepted all of his recommendations and promised to issue a more detailed response later on.

This action plan sets out the Government's response to Lord Laming�s recommendations. It outlines how all of central Government will work together with local government and front line services including teachers, teaching assistants, school governors, staff in Children�s Centres and early years settings, child care workers and other partners working with children to drive forward reform of child protection services across England.
