Answer: With regards to the childrens young carers budget – there is not a designated budget within the Children & Young People directorate for payments to young carers. The Early Help team, as part of their job roles, offer a young carers support service, however we are unable to calculate a separate staffing budget figure for this, as the staffing costs all come under the Early Help team as a whole, not split by service.
2 Please could you provide me with details of the Children's Social Care total budget (general fund) and outturn 24/25 and 25/26 (forecast)
