The government will provide a £1 billion catch-up package for children in England. Additional funding that is required on top of existing departmental budgets in 2020-21, accounting for any changes in the forecast cost of programmes and wider budgetary underspends, will be provided at Supplementary Estimates in the usual way. Funding for costs that fall beyond 2020-21 will be reviewed at the Comprehensive Spending Review.
