My Department is considering these positive evaluation findings as it prepares for
the upcoming Spending Review.</p><p>At Autumn Budget the Chancellor also announced
an extra £410 million to address pressures on adult and children social care services
and, in the run up to the Spending Review, the Government is working closely with
local authorities and the wider sector to build the evidence base and help develop
a thorough understanding of children’s services costs and pressures.</p>
