To ask the Secretary of State for Education how much each local authority spent on child protection services per head of children receiving those services in 2012-13.
Local authorities do not provide information in this format, a report from the Audit Commission1 published in November 2013 found that children's social care has been largely protected from spending reductions in each year from 2010-11 to 2013-14. On average, council spending on children's social care increased by 1.5% during 2012-13.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the steps taken by Birmingham City Council Trading Standards in dealing with problems arising in travel arrangements for pilgrims to Hajj and Umrah; and whether they intend to encourage other local authorities to take similar steps.[HL3770]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the steps taken by Birmingham City Council Trading Standards in dealing with problems arising in travel arrangements for pilgrims to Hajj and Umrah; and whether they intend to encourage other local authorities to take similar steps.[HL3770]
I fully support the good work of Birmingham City Council Trading Standards in enforcing consumer protection legislation in this area. I also support the Council’s work to inform Hajj and Umrah Pilgrims of the issues they need to be aware of when
considering a pilgrimage trip, and to encourage aggrieved pilgrims to complain to the relevant authorities if things go wrong.
Like any other business organising package travel those arranging travel to the annual Hajj in Saudi Arabia are subject to the Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992 and other consumer protection legislation covering unfair trading practices. These Regulations carry criminal penalties and provide consumers with extra contractual rights. Organisers of trips must also have an Air Travel Organiser’s Licence (ATOL) from the Civil Aviation Authority.
It is for each local authority to decide which issues should be given priority in its area. I would certainly encourage local authorities in areas with similar problems to address the matter, as Birmingham has done, to tackle bad traders and engage with the affected community to improve understanding of the application of the law to these services.

There is no change to the responsibilities of local authorities in this regard. They will continue to ensure that maintained schools are aware of their responsibilities for safeguarding children: monitoring their performance; making available appropriate training, model policies and procedures; providing advice and support; and facilitating links and cooperation with other agencies.
We recognise the importance of the guidance on keeping children safe in education and have been giving careful consideration to the detailed comments received through consultation on the draft. We expect to publish both the consultation report and revised guidance early in 2014.

The Government does not collect data on the models used in local areas to share information about safeguarding. However, the Home Office is undertaking a project to improve national and local understanding of the different local multi-agency models in place, and as part of this they surveyed all local authorities. Responses were received from 63 of 152 local authority areas. Of these 64% of authorities said they had some kind of multi-agency model in operation. The Multi-Agency Working and Information Sharing Project—Early Findings report, published in July 2013, gives examples of areas that use Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hubs and other multi-agency models. The document can be accessed online1.

Central Government does not prescribe which model local areas should use to share information, as this is a matter for local determination.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education what assessment he has made of the effect of public sector spending cuts on child protection services.
Local authority funding for safeguarding children and young people is included within core funding for children's social care which comes from the Department for Community and Local Government's Formula Grant and local taxation. Funding is not ring-fenced and it is for local authorities to decide how to apply their funding across the services they deliver.
A report from the Audit Commission1 published in November 2013 found that children's social care has been largely protected from spending reductions from 2010-11 to 2013-14. Council spending on children's social care on average increased by 1.2% in real terms since 2010-11.1 Note:
