Recommendation 52: Lambeth Council comprehensive action plan
From Children in the Care of Lambeth Council Investigation Report, published 27 July 2021.
Recommendation
Lambeth Council should develop and publish a comprehensive action plan which details the actions that it will take in response to the issues raised throughout the Inquiry's investigation report. The action plan should be developed and published within six months of the publication of this investigation report, and should be accompanied by timescales for completing identified actions as soon as possible.
In brief (written by this site)
The London Borough of Lambeth accepted the recommendation in December 2021, publishing an action plan approved by Full Council in which it stated that it had considered lessons learned and formulated actions to "safeguard against the failures of the past being repeated" while charting the course children and young people deserve (London Borough of Lambeth response, Dec 2021). The record holds no update since the council's response of December 2021 (London Borough of Lambeth response, Dec 2021).

Government response
Through our engagement in the Inquiry process and following the public hearings in June and July 2020, we considered the lessons learned and developed and completed actions for ongoing improvement in services. Following publication of the Investigation Report in July 2021, which included recommendations from victims and survivors, we reflected on our position before formulating this Action Plan to safeguard against the failures of the past being repeated. This has allowed the council to continue to chart the clear course children and young people in Lambeth deserve.
