The Children’s Charities Coalition, which includes the NSPCC, has published the latest report in its series on children’s services spending in England. The report analyses published data on local authority spending on children’s services. Key findings show: a fall in spending on early intervention services; funding for children in residential care rose to an all-time high of £3billion; and the number of children in care remains almost 40% higher than it was 20 years ago.
