That programme will consider socio-economic background and geography alongside factors such as sex, ethnicity and sexual orientation to enable us to understand where individuals are being held back across the UK.<\/p> The project aims to publish its first outputs in Summer 2021. The evidence from this inquiry will support the development of policy across Government to make the UK a fairer place to live and do business.<\/p>"}

That is why we are investing over £7 billion more in our schools by 2022-23 than in 2019-20, plus additional funding to cover pension costs. This means schools around the country can continue to raise standards to give all children the skills and knowledge they need to succeed. Schools continue to receive additional funding through the pupil premium \u2013 worth around £2.4 billion annually \u2013 to help them support their disadvantaged pupils.<\/p> During the pandemic, the Government is investing over £400 million to support access to remote education and online social care services, including securing 1.3 million laptops and tablets for disadvantaged children and young people.<\/p> This Government has also delivered an unprecedented package of support to protect jobs and businesses and, for those in most need, injecting billions into the welfare system. The new Covid Winter Grant Scheme builds on that support with an additional £170 million for local authorities in England, to support families with children and other vulnerable people with the cost of food and essential utilities this winter. Our long-term ambition is to level up across the country and continue to tackle child poverty through our reformed welfare system encouraging parents to move into and progress in work wherever possible.<\/p>"}
