Liberal Democrat — Glastonbury and Somerton

Speaking in the House of Commons on 18 November 2024

Debate

Children’s Social Care

Contribution

Somerset council is facing a £7.5 million overspend on children’s services this financial year, with an increased number of children coming into care. I welcome the pledge to provide early interventions, as they provide better outcomes for children while keeping costs down for councils. Will the Secretary of State provide more detail on how a joined-up approach will be achieved, so that local authorities can provide the best possible care for children?
