<p>At Autumn Budget, my right hon. Friend, the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced
an extra £410 million to address pressures on social care services, along with £84
million over 5 years to support up to 20 local authorities to improve their social
work practice and decision-making, enabling them to work more effectively with the
most vulnerable children and their families.</p><p>This builds on the £200 billion
government has already made available to councils up to 2020 to provide services in
the best interests of local residents, including those for children and young people.</p><p>The
government will continue to work closely with the sector to consider long-term children’s
services funding as part of the Spending Review.</p>
