- The Children's Commissioner's study on the unreported levels of child sexual abuse in England.
- The Ministry of Justice published an analysis of re-offending amongst offenders aged 10-17 between 2002 and 2013, finding that whilst the numbers of young offenders have fallen, rates of re-offending have been increasing.
- A report by the think tank ResPublica suggesting that the residential care home sector in England could see large-scale bed closures in the next five years, and estimates that there may be a £1.1 billion shortfall in funding by April 2020.
