Description

Southampton City Council has seen a significant increase in the numbers of children coming into care, rising to a high of 637 in the summer of 2015. This is significantly higher than would be anticipated for a City of Southampton’s size and demographics, and is causing a great financial burden. The Council reviewed its processes and saw a subsequent slight reduction but recognises much more needs to be done to bring its numbers of children looked after within expected levels, compared to comparator authorities. In-depth research was undertaken to identify the key factors and reasons for the high numbers of Children Looked After within the City and potential solutions. It is anticipated that the Edge of Care Service will provide the solution.
