Question to the Department for Education:
What recent assessment he has made of the adequacy of local authority funding for children’s services.
This question was answered on 20th January 2020
The Government is providing councils with an additional £1 billion for adults’ and children’s social care in every year of this Parliament. This is on top of the continuation of the £410 million social care grant in 2020-21. This will support local authorities to meet rising demand.
