As has been noted previously, I have talked—and, I have no doubt, will continue to do so—about the £500 million that we have made available in 2025-26 to support, yes, the national rollout of family help, child protection and family network reforms. I can confirm that, out of that £500 million, £270 million is new funding in the children’s social care prevention grant for that work. We will of course be making further announcements about support for this work after the spending review expected in June, which will confirm funding beyond 2026.
