The government recognises the importance of securing permanence for looked after children and young people. Planning for permanence is central to children and families social work.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The Care Planning, Placement and Case Review Regulations 2010 and the supporting statutory guidance set out clear expectations on planning for permanence to ensure that children have a secure, stable and loving family to support them through childhood and beyond and to give them a sense of security, continuity, commitment, identity and belonging. This includes those children identified as having special educational needs.<\/p>

Local authorities are under a statutory obligation to provide accommodation for unaccompanied children who arrive in their area. This means that they become looked after children and should be safeguarded and have their welfare promoted in the same way as any other looked after child. To help support this, the government has revised the \u2018Statutory guidance on the care of unaccompanied migrant children and child victims of modern slavery\u2019, which was published 1 November 2017: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/care-of-unaccompanied-and-trafficked-children<\/a>.<\/p>

The government recognises that unaccompanied asylum seeking and refugee children can be some of the most vulnerable in our society. The government\u2019s vision and additional commitment to caring for these children is set out in the strategy for \u2018Safeguarding unaccompanied asylum seeking and refugee children\u2019, published 1 November 2017: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/safeguarding-unaccompanied-asylum-seeking-and-refugee-children<\/a>.<\/p>

We will be investing £84 million over the next five years to support a number of local authorities who are struggling with issues of performance and demand. This targeted fund will support up to 20 local authorities to improve their social work practice and decision-making, enabling them to work more effectively with the most vulnerable children and their families. This investment will build on the lessons learned from promising innovation programmes in Hertfordshire, Leeds and North Yorkshire, which have supported more children to stay safely at home. We will work closely with local authorities and other sector partners between now and April to determine how best to allocate the funding.<\/p>

The number of care leavers aged 17 and 18 years old who were in education other than higher education in the year ending 31 March 2017, was 4,610.

The department has launched a Supporting School Resource Management strategy which provides schools with practical advice on savings that can be made on the £10 billion non-staffing spend spent across England last year. This outlines the extensive support we are providing for schools and includes support and guidance to schools and academies to improve how they buy goods and services. For example:<\/p>

- The financial benchmarking service, which allows schools to compare their performance and use of resources with other, similar schools, and also comparisons between academy trusts.<\/p>

- Recommended deals that are helping schools to save money on the things they buy regularly, such as printers and photocopiers.<\/p>

- A new deal to support schools with getting value for money when hiring supply teachers and other agency workers.<\/p>

- Regional Schools Buying Hubs pilots in the North West and South West, providing hands-on support and advice to schools on complex procurement.<\/p>

- A free teacher vacancy listing website to support recruitment needs and drive down recruitment costs is currently in pilot phase.<\/p>

- Encouraging schools to integrate their curriculum and financial planning to inform decision making on the deployment of teaching staff.<\/p>

- School Resource Management Advisers (SRMAs). These sector experts work with schools and trusts to provide tailored advice on how to make best use of their revenue and capital resources to deliver educational outcomes. The SRMA pilot started at the end of January 2018 and completed some 70 deployments by the end of the 2017/18 academic year. SRMAs will be deployed in larger scale in the 2018/19 academic year.<\/p>

For all trainees shown above, both the training grant and employer incentive was provided.<\/p>

We are unable to provide any data collected prior to the academic year 2016/17. A review of early years ITT data found that prior to the academic year 2016/17, data was not collected with sufficient quality to produce high quality statistics.<\/p>

<\/p>

Further information about this and the subsequent actions put in place by the department, can be found in the \u2018Data collection and quality\u2019 section of the ITT Census 2017/18, found here at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/initial-teacher-training-trainee-number-census-2017-to-2018<\/a>.<\/p>
