Recommendation 24

We do not have sufficient data regarding how calculations have been made, the information we do have from central and the Devolved Governments are also not comparable in their current form. However, the number of stakeholders and local government bodies which have told us UKSPF is not a sufficient replacement is significant. This view indicates that there has been a serious deficit of collaboration and communication between the DLUHC and recipients on this issue, resulting in the lack of a shared understanding of the methodology the Government has used to calculate UKSPF.
