answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2018 answer text <p>The government wants every child to be in a stable, loving home that is right for them. One of the key principles of the legislation which underpins the UK’s child protection system, is that children are best looked after within their families, but that is not always possible. As a last resort, local authorities may apply to the independent courts for a decision about removing a child from his or her family – for the child’s safety.</p><p>We regularly monitor and assess the number of children that come into contact with our child protection system and recognise that the number of children in care has risen. That is why, we are working across government to ensure that local authorities and the courts have the resources they need.</p><p>The 2015 Spending Review made available more than £200 billion until 2020 for councils to deliver the local services their communities want to see, including children’s services. In addition, we are improving children’s social care through our £200 million Innovation Programme. This aims to help local authorities learn from what works in order to design services that are as efficient and effective as possible. A number of local authorities implementing these programmes have successfully reduced the number of children in their care. We are also working to set up the new What Works Centre, to build evidence to help improve outcomes for vulnerable children, including a focus on reducing the number of children in care.</p> answering member printed Lord Agnew of Oulton question first answered 12/09/2018 11:04:13 answering member 4689 label Biography information for Lord Agnew of Oulton
