<p>We are pleased to be investing £84 million to support up to 20 local authorities
to improve their social work practice and decision-making.</p><p>We will be working
closely with the sector between now and April 2019 to determine how best to allocate
funding; looking at those authorities who are struggling to meet challenges caused
by rising pressures and who would benefit most from this support. Building on lessons
learned from promising innovation programmes in Hertfordshire, Leeds and North Yorkshire,
this support will enable target councils to work more effectively with vulnerable
children and their families.</p>
