AI and other digital technology in children’s social care

The Department of Education is seeking to better understand how local authorities are using AI in children's social care delivery and has issued a call for evidence to find out more. While focused primarily on local authorities, the consultation also provides an opportunity for social care providers or social care organisations to respond.

You can find the call for evidence here. The consultation closes on 1 May 2026
