The DfE is setting up the Residential Care Leadership Board (RCLB) to drive improvements in the residential care system in England, as recommended in Sir Martin Narey’s independent review of residential care (July 2016). The board will have an initial focus on Sir Martin’s recommendations for commissioning and Staying Close pilots, with scope to extend this remit by agreement with the DfE.
The DfE is seeking to recruit an independent Chair, for an initial period of two years, to provide strong leadership to the RCLB. Further details are available below.
