7‑Minute Briefing – Working Together & Children’s Social Care National Framework (2026 Updates)

The Department for Education has published updated national guidance for both:

Working Together to Safeguard Children (WT) 2026
The Children’s Social Care National Framework (CSCNF).

To support everyone to understand what’s changing, we’re sharing a 7‑minute briefing alongside the key guidance documents.

CMARS have produced a more detailed report explaining the changes in Working Together 2026. This sits between the full guidance and the DfE summary and provides additional clarity on what has changed and why.
If you would like to receive a copy of this report, please email CMARS.

Please take a few minutes to read the briefing and familiarise yourself with the updated guidance.

Thank you for your continued commitment to working together to safeguard children.
