answer text <p>We monitor the number of children entering the care system on an ongoing basis and information showing the change in the number of children entering the care system for the period since 2010 is provided in the table attached.</p><p>Further breakdowns of children who started to be looked after can be found in Table C1 of the statistical first release 'Children Looked After in England including Adoption: 2016 to 2017' at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/children-looked-after-in-england-including-adoption-2016-to-2017" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/children-looked-after-in-england-including-adoption-2016-to-2017</a>.</p><p>We set out our vision for delivering excellent children’s social care in ‘Putting Children First’. This outlines our reform programme which seeks to: improve the quality of social work practice; create systems and environments where great social work can flourish; promote learning and multi-agency working where all involved in supporting children and families can work together; and support children who both enter and leave the care system. The reforms are designed to ensure that all vulnerable children and families receive the highest-quality care and support. We have invested over £200 million through the Innovation Programme to test and develop better practice, including testing approaches to help vulnerable children to remain safely at home.</p>

answer text <p>Sanctions are only used in a minority of cases and when people fail to meet their conditionality requirements without good reason. When considering whether a sanction is appropriate, a Decision Maker will take all the claimant’s individual circumstances, including any health conditions or disabilities and any evidence they provide, into account before deciding whether a sanction is warranted. Claimants can send paperwork and online documentation to be considered as part of this process but not submitting this is not, in itself, a reason for a sanction.</p><p> </p><p>The Department publishes quarterly statistics on Universal Credit and Jobseeker’s Allowance sanctions, including a breakdown by sanction referral reason, as part of the Benefit Sanction Statistics publication, which can be accessed at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/jobseekers-allowance-sanctions" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/jobseekers-allowance-sanctions</a></p><p> </p><p>The specific information requested is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.</p>

answer text <p>Energy network regulation, including the setting of price controls, is a matter for Ofgem as the independent energy regulator and, by law, Government has no role in this process.</p><p> </p><p>The current price control, RIIO-1, has led to significant benefits for consumers with gain share mechanisms resulting in savings worth over £5 billion. As part of this some companies have made voluntary returns of revenue, reflecting changes in investment that were planned at the start of the price controls but are now no longer required. Ofgem estimates that these returns will result in benefits to consumers worth more than £700 million.</p> more like this
