Care packages/placements in Art support trays for providers and payments are administered across the team but primarily by 1.5 FTE staff members.
Local Authorities across the board have seen an increase of approximately 80% in the cost of children’s packages during the pandemic. This has been caused by provider price increases combined with a surge in referrals.
Covid has resulted in an increase in the number of domestic abuse referrals, new-born children presenting in care proceeding, new UASC arrivals and increases in young people self-harming. The corresponding increase in demand for children’s social care services and support has impacted heavily upon the CRF team responsible for the financial administration of the packages and placements.
Demand for provision is expected to increase further as support services begin to resume following the pandemic with a backlog of cases relating to children unable to access support services, now with more complex and challenging needs, expected to emerge.

This request for agency resource is made to enable the CRF Officers to continue to support the increased demand for Children’s social care packages and placements fulling the statutory obligations of the authority and also facilitating provider payments thereby avoiding any potential risks to continuity of provision. Also, to avoid the risk of inputting and providing inaccurate data.
