We remain committed to delivering the healthy schools rating scheme in a way that makes the most of existing resources available to schools. We have met with a wide range of stakeholders, as well as a number of interested suppliers, to discuss the best way to deliver the scheme. We are preparing our scheme based on testing and stakeholder feedback and will continue to work with stakeholders across government, the food sector and charitable organisations. We will share more information shortly.<\/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. Over the five year period from 2015-16 to 2019-20 councils will have access to more than £200 billion to deliver the local services their communities want to see, including children\u2019s services. In February, Parliament confirmed the 2018-19 settlement for local government, providing a real terms increase in resources available to local government - £44.3 billion in 2017-18 to £45.1 billion in 2018-19.<\/p>

<\/p>

The government\u2019s fair funding review of relative needs and resources will develop a robust, up-to-date approach to distributing funding across all local authorities in England at local government finance settlements, including for children\u2019s services. We are working towards implementation in 2020/21, while keeping this date under review as our work progresses.<\/p>

<\/p>

Ofsted inspects local authority services for children in need of help and protection, children in care, and care leavers. These inspections focus on the effectiveness of local authority services, arrangements in discharging their statutory duties and the quality of leadership and management.<\/p>

<\/p>

The department uses this inspection data and a range of other measures to assess the overall health of the system and the performance of individual local authorities. Current inspection data suggests that significant improvements are needed before the sector is working at a good level, though there has been some good recent progress.<\/p>

<\/p>

\u2018Putting Children First\u2019, published in 2016 sets out a clear approach to issues identified in the delivery of children\u2019s social care services across the country and we continue to deliver the measures proposed in it.<\/p>

For individual local authorities, in particular those whose performance is deemed \u2018inadequate\u2019 or \u2018requires improvement to be good\u2019, the department works with the local government sector to drive improvements.
