The department does not collect this level of detail on the reason why a child becomes looked-after.<\/p>
The available information on the primary need of children starting to be looked-after is published annually in table C1 of the statistical release \u2018Children looked-after in England including adoption: 2017 to 2018\u2019 at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/children-looked-after-in-england-including-adoption-2017-to-2018<\/a>. The category \u2018Parental disability or illness\u2019 includes children whose main category of need was due to the capacity of their parents to care for them being impaired by the parents\u2019 disability, physical or mental illness or addictions.<\/p> We know that parental drug and alcohol related issues can be a common factor in families with children in need of help and protection. We are working to ensure that families receive the right help at the right time to promote the welfare and outcomes of children and enable them to stay together where it is safe to do so.<\/p>"}

Schools are responsible for ensuring that each of their pupils is engaged, challenged and has opportunity to achieve their full academic potential. The government\u2019s ongoing education reforms have given headteachers considerable flexibility over their use of the funding allocated to their schools, as they are best placed to support and address the specific needs of their pupils \u2013 including those who are classed as having English as an additional language (EAL).<\/p> \u200bWe recognise that having a large intake of EAL pupils can present challenges for a school. Through the national funding formula (NFF) for schools, introduced in April 2018, state-funded schools attract funding for pupils with EAL who have been in the school system in England for up to 3 years. This funding equates to an additional £515 per primary school pupil and\u202fan additional £1,385 per secondary school pupil by the time the formula is fully implemented. Schools in which more than 10% of pupils joined mid-way through the school year also attract funding through the mobility factor in the NFF if their local authority uses this factor in their local formula. Furthermore, schools are also able to use their pupil premium funding to support pupils with EAL who are classed as disadvantaged, through having been eligible for free school meals at any point in the last 6 years, or through being looked after or previously in local authority care.<\/p>"}

A pay rise is being delivered of up to 3.5% for classroom teachers on the main pay range, 2% for those on the upper pay range and 1.5% for those in leadership positions. This is being supported by a Teachers' Pay Grant of over £500 million covering the difference between the first 1% that schools would have been anticipating under the previous public sector pay cap and the 2018 award. Designed collaboratively with the sector, the centrepiece of the strategy is the Early Career Framework, which will underpin a fully funded, 2 year package of structured support for all early career teachers linked to the best available research evidence.

A range of measures have been put in place, including generous bursaries, worth up to £26,000 for priority subjects, to encourage trainees to key subjects such as languages and physics. New financial incentives for priority subject teachers are also being tested. These include early career payments for new mathematics teachers and a student loan reimbursement scheme for languages and science teachers.<\/p>
On 28 January 2019 the Teacher Recruitment and Retention Strategy was launched which outlines four key areas for reform and investment. These are: creating the right climate for leaders to establish supportive school cultures; transforming support for early career teachers; building a career offer that remains attractive to teachers as their careers and lives develop and; making it easier for people to become teachers.<\/p>
