<p>Local authorities and larger multi-academy trusts (MATs) received a formulaic allocation
from the Healthy Pupils Capital Fund (HPCF) to improve children’s and young people’s
physical and mental health. They have the flexibility to distribute HPCF funding to
meet local priorities and need, in line with the HPCF criteria. MAT accounting officers
are required to confirm that funding received has been spent in line with the conditions
of grants and to submit their accounts for auditing. Data on the use of HPCF funding
by local authorities and larger MATs will be collected and published in due course,
as part of regular capital spend data collections.</p><p>All HPCF projects funded
through the Condition Improvement Fund (CIF) 2018-19 were assessed against the HPCF
funding criteria to improve children’s and young people’s physical and mental health
by enhancing access to facilities for physical activity, healthy eating, mental health
and wellbeing and medical conditions. Data on the use of HPCF funding through CIF
will be published in due course, once the CIF 2018-19 projects are complete.</p>
