The Council are Under Fire for Spending a Small Fortune on Child Care

Cambridgeshire county Council have come under fire as they have spent £85,000 in a single week on the social bill for a single child. This is a sum of over £4.42 million a year on a single child. What did the chief executive have to say about this? GB News have said that the bill is around 10 times the amount that it would take to hold a violent prisoner in a prison. A lot of reviews have been held by visitors as well as by authorities. They have found tat since then the fund has been dropped by a significant amount and that now it adds up to around £30,000 in a week. This is still around £1.5 million in a single year.

Stephen Moir has come out to say that other situations are happening all across the upper-tier authorities. This is again, all across England. Of course, the placement is going to mean that changes are made because amounts of money like this are well and truly unbelievable. There are six young people and because of the complex needs that they have the placement is being adjusted. If you work in homecare or in private nursing, or if you offer bespoke care packages for social workers in an attempt to support mental health then you will understand what a huge blow this is. Currently this is being replicated across the upper-tier authorities across England. The system is one that, when you look at it from a financial perspective, a crisis nationally. If you want to find out more about this or if you want to find out if there are any changes that have to be made in order to try and support those who need it without compromising others.
