Formal assessment of local authority delivery of children\u2019s social care is the responsibility of the independent inspectorate, Ofsted.<\/p>
<\/p>
Ofsted conducted a full inspection of Coventry City Council\u2019s (CCC\u2019s) children\u2019s social care services in March 2017, and the subsequent report, published on 14 June 2017, found services to be \u2018requires improvement\u2019. This is an improvement from their previous inspection judgement in May 2014 which found them to be \u2018inadequate\u2019.<\/p>
<\/p>
Following the inspection in March 2017, consistent with government policy for councils that have previously failed an inspection but have now improved services, CCC were no longer formally in \u2018intervention\u2019. However, it was clear, as Ofsted reported, that the council still had more work to do to ensure all vulnerable children were receiving a good service.<\/p>
<\/p>
Since then, the department has continued to work with the council to monitor whether recent improvements are being sustained. CCC are now participating in a regional improvement alliance joining with other local councils in the region in a programme of supportive peer challenge to ensure services continue to improve and do not deteriorate back into being \u2018inadequate\u2019.<\/p>
<\/p>
Concerns about the functioning of a local authority\u2019s children\u2019s social care services should be reported to Ofsted.<\/p>

The 2015 Spending Review made available more than £200 billion until 2020 for councils to deliver the local services their communities want to see, including children\u2019s services. In February, Parliament confirmed the settlement for local government. This provided a £1.3 billion increase in resources to local government over the next two years.<\/p>
Funding for children\u2019s services is an un-ring-fenced part of the wider local government finance settlement, to give local authorities the flexibility to focus on locally determined priorities and, of course, their statutory responsibilities, including children\u2019s social care. It is up to local authorities to decide how best to allocate their funds to meet the demand for children\u2019s services in their local area.<\/p>
In addition to core funding, the Department for Education has also committed almost £270 million since 2014 to help local authorities to innovate and reform services to achieve better quality and efficiency. The Innovation Programme is enabling local authorities across the country to develop, test and scale more effective and efficient approaches to supporting children and young people. Learning from the Innovation Programme is informing the new What Works Centre for Children\u2019s Social Care, whose early priorities include improving the evidence of what works in reducing the need for children to enter care.<\/p>
We recognise that funding pressures on local authorities may be greater in some parts of the country than in others so we are working alongside the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government and the sector to review current funding distributions as part of the government\u2019s fair funding review of relative needs and resources.<\/p>"}

The UK is a global leader on Antarctic marine protection issues, including within the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR). At its next meeting in October, CCAMLR will consider UK co-sponsored proposals for establishing Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in the East Antarctic and Weddell Sea. CCAMLR ensures that fish stocks in the Southern Ocean are sustainably managed, as well as having committed to the development of a network of MPAs. There is currently no commercial fishing activity in the Weddell Sea; only small-scale, fully monitored, research fishing activities. Ocean plastic pollution is a global problem which the UK Government is actively working to reduce. Plastic pollution is monitored at a number of stations around Antarctica and through dedicated surveys. Plastic pollution is mainly arriving in Antarctica from outside of the region. Nevertheless, in addition to strict marine pollution regulations around Antarctica, UK flagged fishing vessels operating within the CCAMLR Convention Area have implemented measures to reduce or eliminate plastic microbeads from waste water. While MPAs will not tackle global climate change, one of the objectives for the Weddell Sea MPA proposal is to establish scientific reference areas to monitor the effects of climate change and to study, in particular, representative, rare, unique and/or endemic examples of marine ecosystems, as well as biodiversity and habitats.<\/p>"}

The Government takes its international responsibilities seriously and grants protection to those who qualify. In assessing claims decision makers must still consider the individual facts and merits of a particular case aswell as the objective country information.<\/p>
The table below is taken from published statistics and shows that the grant rate in 2015 and 2016 fell. This was due to a change to the Country Guidance advice over that time.<\/p>
