Recommendation 15
15
Additional funding for children's social care welcomed, but full implementation funding gap remains.
Conclusion
We warmly welcome the additional funding for children’s social care and capital investment in children’s homes announced at the recent Spending Review, which will be an important step forward in working towards the amount recommended by the Independent Review of Children’s Social Care. It would now be helpful for the Department to set out the level of funding that is still required to fully implement the recommendations of the Review and how it intends to work towards achieving this level.
