Speaking in the House of Lords on 22 May 2025

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

The Minister has cited on a number of occasions the figure of £500 million in funding, which of course is correct, but can she confirm that, within that, £290 million is new money that is predominantly for the early help function rather than the multi-agency child protection teams? I may have misunderstood that last balance, but perhaps she will have a chance to feed back on that in the debate on a later group of amendments.
