star this property answer text <p>The move to regional adoption agencies will improve the efficiency of adoption services and increase the scale at which services operate. This is expected to lead to savings for local authorities through efficiency gains as they benefit from economies of scale and through improvements in the timeliness of adoptions. The Department for Education is working with local authorities to encourage voluntary consolidation. The department will assess and evaluate the costs and savings resulting from the measures as part of this work. The department will also provide some financial support for transition to regional adoption agencies.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Education and Adoption Bill also includes measures to improve the overall quality of education received by children in England. This includes streamlining the process by which failing schools become academies and introducing new powers to support and challenge coasting schools. The department is assessing the funding implications of wider intervention and meeting these costs will be considered as part of the Budget and Spending Review process.</p><p> </p>

star this property answer text <p>Permanence provides an underpinning framework for all social work with children and their families. Every looked-after child must have a care plan which includes a ‘plan for permanence’. Permanence can take the form of a successful return to the child’s family, long-term foster care, adoption or special guardianship.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>In order to improve practice in instances where the best permanence option for children is to remain looked-after, the government amended regulations in April 2015 to introduce ‘long term foster care’ as a distinct placement type. In cases such as these, statutory guidance is clear that the local authority should assess the ability of the identified foster carer to care for the child (this may be the foster carers currently looking after the child, or new carers who are best able to meet the child’s needs). The statuary guidance is published online at: <a href="http://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/416720/Stat_Guidance_Permanence_2015.pdf" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/416720/Stat_Guidance_Permanence_2015.pdf</a></p><p> </p>

star this property answer text <p>Schools and colleges have an important role to play in supporting the wellbeing and mental health of their students.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>To help them do this effectively, we recently published a blueprint for school counselling services, which provides schools with practical, evidence-based advice informed by experts on how to deliver high-quality school based counselling. This is available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/416326/Counselling_in_schools_-240315.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/416326/Counselling_in_schools_-240315.pdf</a>.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>At the same time, the PSHE Association published guidance, funded by the Department for Education, on providing age-appropriate teaching about mental health problems. This guidance can be found at: <a href="https://www.pshe-association.org.uk/news_detail.aspx?ID=1435" target="_blank">https://www.pshe-association.org.uk/news_detail.aspx?ID=1435</a>. They will also be publishing a set of lesson plans spanning key stage 1 to key stage 4 which will be available for schools to use by September 2015.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>We expect that schools will want to use these and other resources to develop the support that they provide. We will continue to work with the sector to look at what further information and support might be helpful.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>We know that many schools already provide their pupils with support such as counselling and play an important role in enabling access to child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS). Teachers, however, are not mental health professionals and it is important that students can get swift access to specialist mental health support where needed. The recent ‘Future in Mind’ report set out our ambitions for improving care over the next five years, including on making better links between schools and specialist services. This report is available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/414024/Childrens_Mental_Health.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/414024/Childrens_Mental_Health.pdf</a>.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>We have also announced £1.25 billion of new funding over the next five years to treat 110,000 more children with mental health issues. To inform future practice, the Department for Education will be contributing £1.5 million in 2015-16 to a joint pilot with NHS England, which aims to improve knowledge of mental health issues and interventions, and facilitate better joint working between schools and CAMHS.</p><p> </p>
