answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/01/2019 answer text <p>Frontline participants completing the master’s degree programme are required to undertake social work research. We are not aware of any long-term impact of Frontline on the wider social work sector’s engagement with research. Government is establishing a What Works Centre for children’s social care, which will address the gap that often exists between research and practice. It aims to translate research findings into practical support for social workers, practice leaders and commissioners to improve outcomes for children, young people and their families. Additionally, our teaching partnership programme has supported the development of research links between universities and social work practitioners.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 31/01/2019 17:26:20 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/01/2019 answer text <p>In July 2018, the Department accepted in full the School Teachers’ Pay Review Body (STRB) recommendation for a 3.5% uplift to the minima and maxima of the main pay range. As a result, classroom teachers will see starting salaries increasing by between £803 and £1,004. The Department also announced a substantial uplift to pay ranges for leaders and higher-paid teachers: 2% on the upper pay range and 1.5% on the leadership pay range.</p><p>This was supported by a new Teachers’ Pay Grant of £508 million over two years, covering the difference between these awards and the 1% award that schools would have anticipated under the previous public sector pay cap. This was funded using existing Department for Education resources, recognising that the pay award would have a significant impact on school budgets.</p><p>Providing an equivalent Teachers’ Pay Grant to cover the difference between a 3.5% award for all pay ranges and the previous public sector pay cap would have cost over £900m across two years.</p><p>In line with the overall government approach to pay review body recommendations across the public sector, the Department needs to balance the importance of rewarding teachers with ensuring awards are affordable and fair to the taxpayer.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 31/01/2019 17:03:01 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/01/2019 answer text <p>Children's social care services in Lancashire were judged as ‘Requires Improvement' by Ofsted in August 2018.

That is why our children’s social care reform programme is working to deliver a highly capable, highly skilled social work workforce as well as high performing services everywhere and a national system of excellent and innovative practice.</p><p>The Autumn Budget announced a further £410 million in 2019-20 for local authorities to invest in adult and children’s social care services. We are also investing £84 million in targeted evidence-based interventions to unlock better work with vulnerable children and their families. This is in addition to the over £200 billion that was made available at the 2015 Spending Review until 2020 for councils to deliver local services, including children’s services.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 31/01/2019 17:44:37 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
