The figures for the total net budget covering education, community, youth justice and children and young people's services are drawn from unitary local authorities' 2009-10 Children, Schools and Families Financial Data Collection (Budget Table 1 line 8) submitted to the DCSF. Figures are rounded to the nearest £1,000 and may not sum due to rounding.
