Nadhim Zahawi has responded to the joint letter co-ordinated by Carolyn Willow, Director of Article 39.

The Minister is not withdrawing the guide but states it does not alter existing statutory guidance or legislation.

I have written to @article_39 about our ‘myth-busting’ guide on children’s social care statutory guidance to reassure the sector that it does not change any of their responsibilities. It simply clarifies some sections of the guidance, following feedback from councils pic.twitter.com/Y5N1pNBmfN
