This includes 14 SIBs targeting youth unemployment, 7 SIBs focused upon homelessness and 11 SIBs centred on tackling a range of issues including mental health and employment, long term health conditions, children in care and loneliness amongst older people.

answer text <p>The introduction of the National Living Wage marked an important step towards building an economy that works for everyone. It ensures that low-wage workers are fairly rewarded for their contribution to a growing economy. At £7.20, it is a 50p increase on the National Minimum Wage and means a pay rise for over a million workers aged 25 and over across the UK.</p><p> </p><p>The Government’s assessment of the effects of the National Living Wage is contained within the published impact assessment, which is available at http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukdsi/2016/9780111141625/impacts/2016/3.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>The police non-emergency number has a one off 15 pence charge from a mobile phone. The public have always paid to contact the police for non-emergencies and the 15 pence per call charge is a competitive and transparent rate, especially when compared to previous police non-emergency numbers (such as 0845 numbers) which could cost up to 40 pence per minute.</p><p>Police forces and the Government do not make money from calls to 101. The 15 pence per call charge goes directly to telephony providers and covers the cost of handling calls and routing calls to destinations.</p> more like this

answer text <p>There are five Local Authorities in England that do not directly run their children’s social care services: Doncaster, Slough, Kingston, Richmond and the Isle of Wight. Doncaster and Slough Local Authorities’ children’s social care services are delivered by independent organisations – both Companies Limited by Guarantee - called Doncaster Children’s Services Trust and Slough Children’s Services Trust respectively. Kingston and Richmond’s children’s services are delivered by a Community Interest Company called Achieving for Children. The Isle of Wight has a partnership agreement with Hampshire Local Authority where the Hampshire DCS and his children’s services department has full operational responsibility for the Isle of Wight’s children’s services.</p><p><em><br></em>The Tri-borough partnership (London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and City of Westminster) has combined the delivery of some children’s services across the three local authorities.</p>
