answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/04/2018 answer text <p>By 2019-20, the government will be spending £1 billion a year to deliver 30 hours of free childcare and fund the increase in rates that we introduced in April 2017.</p><p> </p><p>Our average hourly funding rate to local authorities for three- and four-year olds compares very favourably with published independent research into the hourly cost of childcare. We will continue to monitor delivery costs and have commissioned new research to provide us with robust and detailed cost data from a representative sample of early years providers.</p><p> </p><p>The government requires all local authorities to pass through 95% of their three and four year old funding to early years providers. The government allows 5% of funding to be held back so that authorities can meet their statutory duty to administer our entitlements and for central services such as specialist support for special educational needs provision.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi grouped question UIN 136947 question first answered 26/04/2018 15:12:23 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether his Department's review on the educational outcomes of children in need of help or support aged 16 and 17 will consider any other outcomes where the support those children have received may cause an effect.

uin	136545
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/04/2018 answer text <p>On 16 March 2018, the government published data and analysis as part of the Department for Education’s Children in Need Review. This included the finding that Children in Need have worse educational outcomes than their peers from the early years, make less progress throughout school, and are more likely than other children to become a young adult who is Not in Education, Employment or Training three years after completing Key Stage 4.</p><p> </p><p>The scope of the review is focussed on educational outcomes, and we have no plans to extend this. However, we recognise that the factors affecting these children and young people’s educational outcomes, such as the support they receive, may also lead to other poorer outcomes. That is why our data publication sets out our intention to understand the lifetime outcomes of Children in Need, including exploring the feasibility of matching the Department for Education’s Children in Need data with data from other government departments.</p><p> </p><p>Children’s social care and schools have a central role in supporting Children in Need. It is therefore important for us to focus the review on what we can do now whilst making progress and working across government to understand more about other outcomes over the longer-term.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 23/04/2018 16:55:18 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
