Abstract

Tackling the unsustainable rise in children in care is a policy priority in England. There is growing evidence that adverse socioeconomic circumstances are an important driver of children entering care. Less is known about the place of these drivers on the Children’s Services policy agenda. Our aim in this study was to elicit local authority policymakers’ understanding of the challenges in Children’s Services over the past decade and assess how the problem of poverty is framed.
