Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if his Department will make an estimate of the spending on early help social services in 2017-18 by region.
This question was answered on 18th July 2022
The department publishes local authorities’ planned and actual expenditure on education and children’s and young people’s services annually. The data does not show a total amount spent on early help.
The data for 2017/18 is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/section-251-materials. Whilst there are non-statutory services spend captured in the data it is not possible to provide overall spend data on ‘early help’.
