Children’s Commissioner for England, Anne Longfield OBE, said:
“Martin Narey’s appointment to review children’s care homes is very welcome. Young people tell us how important a part care homes can have in their lives and it is important to ensure it’s the best experience and highest quality possible.
“The review is an opportunity to build on the important work already undertaken on quality standards to make residential care an offer of choice for children in care who will most benefit from this environment.”
