	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/03/2022 answer text <p>Children’s social care in Northern Ireland is a transferred power, making it a devolved matter. This answer reflects the position in England. The 2021 Spending Review and Local Government Finance Settlement makes available £54.1 billion for 2022/23 for local government in England, an increase of up to £3.7 billion on 2021/22. This significant investment is largely un-ringfenced in recognition that local leaders know the priorities for their local communities best. The Government has also provided an additional £200 million for Supporting Families. This represents around a 40% real-terms uplift in funding for the programme by 2024-25, taking total planned investment across the next three years to £695 million. This significant investment into early help services comes in advance of Josh MacAlister’s independent review of children’s social care, which will report in the Spring. The Government will consider any recommendations carefully.</p> answering member constituency Saffron Walden answering member printed Kemi Badenoch question first answered 18/03/2022 14:43:37 answering member 4597 label Biography information for Kemi Badenoch
