Director CYP’s statement on the overspending in the non-Schools' Budget

3.3 The £622k overspend position in the Non-Schools' Budget arises largely from:

the continuing cost pressures from the children‟s placements given the complexity and nature of their needs; the Council has statutory responsibility to make provision for these children.

SEN Transport costs are also projected to increase; further analysis of these potential costs will be undertaken once the data relating to „starters‟ and „leavers‟ are confirmed for the new academic year. This will enable a more robust forecast for the year.

3.4 The use of locum staff within the Children‟s Social Care And Safeguarding teams continues to create additional cost pressures and associated overspend. Whilst the recruitment and retention strategy approved by Executive in February 2010 is making a significant improvement to our target to reduce reliance on locum staff and establish a stable workforce, this strategy is phased over three years with a stepped reduction in the need for locums as permanent social care staff are secured.

3.5 It is to be noted that there is less flexibility within the CYP budget to offset in-year service pressures during 2011/12, such as Looked After Children and children's disability placements, given the significant reductions in DfE grant funding streams to the Council and CYP Services. In previous financial years, it has been possible to use the flexibilities in certain grant streams and redirect them to address some of the cost pressures within Children and Young People Department. The consequences of the grant reduction have been the subject of reports to the CYP PDS and Portfolio Holder during 2010/11.

3.6 Thresholds for Children‟s Social Care intervention are set by legislation and statutory regulation. The thresholds within Bromley Children‟s Social Care were confirmed as being consistently applied by the Ofsted‟s Unannounced Inspection of children‟s referral and assessment services completed in April 2011. The Director and Lead Member CYP have a statutory responsibility to ensure that requirements for Children‟s Social Care and Safeguarding are fulfilled.

3.7 There are two Executive Member Working Parties established to oversee and monitor service volumes, trends, and policy and strategy for two key areas of CYP services: Executive Working Party SEN established in 2003; Executive Member Working Party Children‟s Safeguarding and Corporate Parenting, established in 2010. The current cost pressures arising from Safeguarding and Social Care placements and SEN Transport will be given full consideration through these groups.

3.8 The forecast does not take into account any further net increases to in-year placements, and so there is a likelihood that the overspending may, without management action, increase as the year progresses. However, management action is being taken to drive down costs, meeting providers and realigning placements where appropriate. This will be the subject of further consideration to estimate the growth based on previous years trends. The full year effect of the placements overspending is estimated at £866k.

3.9 Action To Be Taken To Reduce Children's Disability Team placements (cause of the Non-Schools' Budget Overspending), and the call upon contingency in the Schools' Budget for SEN Placements

The main drivers contributing to the overspend position in both the Schools' Budget and the non-Schools' Budget are outlined in para 3.3 above. The main volatile element of spend is children‟s placements and there are limited controls given the statutory obligations on the Council and often the limited range of placement provision available particularly in the case of

5

residential provision. However, rigorous management action will be taken by the Director CYP and the Assistant Directors (Access & Inclusion and Safeguarding & Social Care) to contain these additional costs within the overall CYP budget envelope by identifying compensatory savings, where possible, and maintaining a strict regime across all areas of the CYP Department‟s spend. This will include:

Review children in high cost residential and independent fostering to assess any scope to reduce these commitments.

Robustly re-examine the gatekeeping procedures in relation to children‟s placements but within the confines of statutory requirements. All placements are the subject of scrutiny, detailed consideration and examination of all placement options before approval. This process is conducted through a Placement Panel which is chaired by the Assistant Director for Children‟s Social Care and Safeguarding. Cases are reviewed quarterly. Tightly controlled purchasing of placements though negotiation, clear specifications, avoiding „extras‟, achieving least expensive options where possible.

Joint work with the Housing Department to divert potential homeless youngsters aged 16+ away from the care system to supported lodgings through the Housing Department.

Complete the review of fostering provision and costs with support from the Organisation Improvement Team to achieve a revised foster carer payment policy, increase the number of LBB placements and reduce dependency on Independent Fostering Agencies. A work programme is currently under way to increase the number of LBB foster placements and reduce dependency on IFAs as well as develop packages of support to carers to enable more challenging children to be cared for within foster homes.

Assess the percentage of costs in respect of placements that are health related within context of Department of Health funding, future commissioning health arrangements and CAHMS involvement where appropriate.

Sustain aggressive social work recruitment activity; rolling three weekly interview panels, two day short-listing and invitation to interview turnaround time, update Children‟s Social Care micro-site on the Bromley website, use of Google, attract CWDC external funding for Grow Your Own trainee scheme, improve retention.

Re-examine the charges for high cost placements with a view to reducing the cost of individuals‟ current provision.

3.10 In addition, the Director has introduced a general moratorium on all running costs and

expenditure, other than those that are strictly essential. All vacancies will be frozen other than for essential posts, with a minimisation of those costs associated with interim arrangements and cover for vacancies, wherever possible.

3.11 In terms of the Schools‟ Budget position, following the detailed report to the PDS Committee and Portfolio Holder on 14 July 2011, it was noted that the final accounts for 2010/11 indicated that 10 primary and 3 secondary schools had deficits at 31 March 2011. The CYP Schools‟ Finance Team will work with those schools‟ governing bodies and head teachers to agree Deficit Recovery Plans which must be the subject of approval by the Director, CYP.

Appendix 7 trends in looked after children over the past 3 years.

Appendix 8 details the possible impact on 2012/13 Council Tax funded budgets of current year variances.

Exemptions from rules on competitive tenders and extensions to contracts Appendices 9 to 11 show contracts over £50k exempted from the requirement to obtain competitive quotes. The Chief Officer has to obtain the agreement of the Director of Legal, Democratic and Customer Services and Director of Resources and (where over £100,000) of the Portfolio Holder, and report use of this exemption to Audit Sub committee bi-annually. Since the previous occasion when exemptions were reported, there have been 14 contracts exceeding £50,000 but less than £100,000, and 20 exceeding £100,000.

4. POLICY IMPLICATIONS

4.1 “Building a Better Bromley” refers to the Council‟s intention to remain among the lowest Council Tax levels in Outer London through greater focus on priorities.

4.2 The Resources Portfolio Plan has the target that each department will spend within its budget.

4.3 “Updates on Financial Strategy 2012/13 to 2015/16” will be reported to the Executive highlighting the pressures facing the Council.

4.4 Chief Officers and Heads of Finance stress the need for strict budget monitoring to minimise the risk of compounding pressures in future years. It is key to performance management.

5. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

5.1 These are contained in the body of this report and Appendix 2 explains the significant variations.

APPENDIX 2

REASONS FOR VARIATIONS Most variances in Table 3 of Appendix 1(A) are unique to either the Schools‟ Budget (Table 1), or Council Tax budget (Table 2). But the following are a combination of both:-

The comments below cover only significant variances, so the total for the itemised variations will not always be the same as the headline variance. THE SCHOOLS’ BUDGET (£10,000 Underspending) (Appendix 1 (A), Table 2) As well as the budget for each school, the Schools' Budget holds £38m of pupil-driven centrally managed services such as SEN and Pupil Referral. It is funded by Dedicated Schools‟, Young People Learning Agency, The Pupil Premium, and other grants. ACCESS (£289k underspending) Access & Admissions Management (£11k overspending) Management require to offset this overspending by identifying offsetting savings elsewhere and correcting the budget. Behaviour Support Service (£300k underspending) 1. Sale of services to academies is projected to yield £400k in additional income

2. Volume has increased significantly in Home & Hospital tuition and at the Nightingale Centre, as a result of the policy of using this in-house provision rather than higher cost Out Of Borough placements. However Management is aware of this increase and have resolved to monitor and control spending. This is in part due to one new case of a serious sexual nature. 100k overspending

SEN AND INCLUSION (£705,000 overspending)

1. SEN Pupil-Driven (£771,000 overspending, details in Appendix 3)

The need for savings has to be balanced against the need to meet the Council‟s statutory obligations on SEN provision.

We monitor pupil-driven budgets through the Capita One System:

- Non-delegated classroom assistants/matrix support.

- Out-borough independent and maintained school placements, and alternatives to placements.

11

- Other out-borough provision for children in mainstream schools.

- Delegated funding for the matrix in the Primary and Secondary Sectors. The database holds child-by-child details which we reconcile monthly to the Ledger. The projected overspending allows for a normal number of leavers during the year, but actual leavers may be higher or lower than this.

Matrix This budget line is overspent for 2 main reasons. (1) Complexity of needs has increased. Expenditure has increased far above what would

be expected for the increase in numbers. This is because new Statements are only given to those with the most severe needs and there are also a number of children who require an increase in matrix funding at secondary transfer. Management will ensure all increases at secondary transfer are investigated thoroughly.

(2) Pupil volumes have increased

There are stringent controls to ensure schools use resources from their own budgets and skilled outreach professionals. All schools and settings must follow the 4 stages in the DfE “SEN Code of Practice.” Guidelines and thresholds are monitored through an annual audit of all schools. When a school or parent/carer asks for a statutory assessment the Local Authority Moderating Panel, consisting of professionals from a range of agencies, assesses:

the child‟s level of difficulty,

previous interventions by the school

whether the school has exhausted the use of additional local resources

whether the child meets the threshold for a statutory assessment. This provides a check and balance across Bromley and ensures consistent decision making. Independent Day Placements Children with behavioural difficulties needing out borough placements have grown just slightly, (about 5) but placements can each cost £200k pa. Some follow family or fostering breakdown due to behaviour. A working group found gaps in provision which if filled would reduce costs over 2 or 3 years. Examples are the lack of places in Bromley Special Schools for primary age and/or girls and the need for therapeutic fostering to avoid boarding placements. Residential placements are subject to the approval of both the Assistant Director, Safeguarding and Social Care and the Assistant Director, Access and Inclusion via a Complex Case Panel. Independent day placements in out of borough schools require the approval of the Assistant Director, Access and Inclusion. Other Local Authority Maintained Day Placements An overspending of £191,000 is forecast in this area, due to an increase in volume. It is worth noting here that where maintained day settings are used, this is usually to prevent an even higher placement within the independent sector. Alternative Provision This budget funds children who cannot attend school or awaiting a place, and they often have behaviour difficulties or need home tuition due to mental health issues.

12

Additional support without recourse to a statement is subject to agreement by the multi-agency specialist support and disability panel chaired by the Head of Service and is only agreed for a limited period and is subject to a review. Recoupment Income Income recovered from other Councils for their pupils placed in Bromley settings is projected to be below the budgeted amount, since fewer of the pupils are out of borough relative to the budget assumption. Management action taken to bring overspend down £700k is reserved in the Schools‟ Budget contingency to offset the net Schools' Budget overspending. The remaining management action being taken within the Department is outlined in paragraphs 3.4 to 3.6 above.

2. Early Support (£66,000 underspending)

Current vacancies are not being filled as part of the Director‟s framework of management action to contain cost pressures, this saving will partly offset the overspending on placements above.

DEDICATED SCHOOLS GRANT INCOME (£516,000 below budget)

3. The £427,000 cumulative overspending in the Schools' Budget at 31 March 2011 has been brought forward and is the first call on the 2011/12 DSG.

4. The final DSG was £89,000 lower than expected, due to 18 fewer pupils.

EDUCATION COMMISSIONING & BUSINESS SERVICES (£300,000 underspending)

Flexible Learning: as a result of Academy conversions, an „exit strategy‟ has been approved by the Portfolio Holder which commits DSG funding only to the end of the Summer Term 2011 plus a small continuing sum for the Priory. SCHOOLS BUDGET NOT DELEGATED (£642,000 underspending) 1. Jury and Maternity cover reimbursement to schools. Expected to underspend as a result of

Academy conversions £300,000 underspending

2. School Meals for Special Schools is overspending by £58,000 following re-tendering.

3. The Contingency that has been referred to will be unspent so as to offset the overspendings as set out above for all the Schools' Budget services. £400,000 underspending.

13

THE NON SCHOOLS' AND CHILDREN'S SOCIAL CARE BUDGET (Appendix 1, Table 3) Mainly funded by Council Tax, Revenue Support Gant, and a number of smaller grants. Net controllable variance: £622,000 overspending. Only significant causes of variance are stated, and so the total for the itemised variations will not always be the same as the headline variance. SAFEGUARDING AND SOCIAL CARE DIVISION (overspending of £102,000) SALARIES (overspending by £100,000 across the Division) Safeguarding and Social Care has exceeded the agreed target to reduce the numbers of locum social workers as identified in the Recruitment and Retention report to the Executive on the 3 February 2010 and as a consequence the £100,000 overspend is lower than anticipated and planned. Progress on using locum social workers is continuing and every effort will be made to further reduce spending in this area. Since the comment above relates to staff costs across the Safeguarding and Social Care Division, the following comments relate to variances other than in staff costs:- CARE AND RESOURCES (£49,000 overspending excluding salaries) (£109,000 including salaries)

Children‟s Placement budget: £93,600 overspending (Appendix 5 refers).

Housing Benefit for Care Leavers: £44,350k underspending

Under 18s underspend forecast at £56,400 underspend

18+ under recovery of rent £12,050 overspend SAFEGUARDING AND CARE PLANNING (£20,000 overspending on salaries) REFERRAL AND ASSESSMENT (£7,000 underspending excluding salaries, £13,000 overspending including salaries)

Clients with No Recourse to Public Funds rose steadily during 2010-11. The costs are to accommodate and provide for families who cannot work due to their legal status and who do not receive benefits. This was previously absorbed within s17 budgets but is now reported separately. £19,000 overspending.

One post has become vacant in the TAPSS Team – the CAMHS post – this will be held vacant for the remainder of the year to contribute a £26,000 underspend to off-set other costs.

CHILDREN IN CARE EDUCATION (£20,000 underspending) Management action was identified to offset the overall overspend. The saving made during the recruitment of the new CiC Education teacher will held rather than redirected to support overspends in other areas of this service.

YOUTH OFFENDING TEAM (£20,000 underspending) Savings are being made on a mix of areas including grant income, salaries and running costs.

14

BROMLEY CHILDREN AND FAMILY PROJECT (£85,000 underspending) Savings are being made by holding some posts vacant.

ACCESS (£4,000 overspending) Education Welfare Service (£41,000 overspending) (1) The budget was reduced on the assumption that a full year of savings would be yielded from

managing the EWO and Behaviour Support services together. However, it is unlikely that this will be achieved in 2011/12. £70,000 overspending

(2) Additional income from sold services and savings in supplies and services will help to offset

the above £29,000 additional income/underspending Awards, Transport and Pupil Benefits (£40,000 underspending) This is a demand driven budget and therefore difficult to forecast, but the best estimate at present is that it will underspend by £40,000. SEN AND INCLUSION (£760,000 overspending) SEN Transport Contracts (£100,000 overspending) Pupil volumes have risen and the service has been given a challenging savings target on the basis of expected savings from the re-tendering of contracts. At this early stage in the year a £100,000 overspending is projected, but a more confident projection will be made in October once starters and leavers are known for the new academic year. Children With Disabilities Placements (£660,000 overspending) There have been four recent high cost placements required for looked after children. The management action to be taken by the Director and Assistant Directors to contain these additional costs is outlined in paragraph 3.4. Further details on Children With Disabilities placements are given in Appendix 5 B.

Pupil placements are driving the overspending in both the Schools' Budget and the non-Schools' Budget. Rigorous management action will continue to be taken by the Director CYP and the Assistant Directors (Access & Inclusion and Safeguarding & Social Care) to contain and reduce costs:

Review children in high cost residential and independent fostering.

Further strengthened gate keeping. All placements must be agreed and approved at CSC Placement Panel and by the Assistant Director for Social Care. Cases are reviewed quarterly. Numbers of LAC reduced from 299 in May 2010 to 269 in March 2011.

Implementation of an Adolescent and parenting support team to focus on preventing teenagers coming in to care.

Joint work with the Housing Department to divert potential 16 plus homeless youngsters away from the care system to supported lodgings through the Housing Department.

A review of fostering provision and costs. A work programme is currently under way to increase the number of LBB foster placements and reduce dependency on IFAs as well as develop packages of support to carers to enable more challenging children to be cared for within foster homes.

15

Introduction of rolling interview panels, a CSC social care micro-site on the Bromley website, and a two day short listing and invitation to interview turn around time for social work applications to support the recruitment and retention package.

Tightly controlled purchasing of placements though negotiation, clear specifications, avoiding „extras‟, achieving least expensive options were possible.

In addition, a general moratorium will be reduced on all running costs expenditure other than those that are strictly essential and all vacancies will be frozen other than for essential posts, with a minimisation of cost of cover for vacant posts. STANDARDS & ACHIEVEMENT (£50,000 underspending) Savings from delayed appointments to vacant posts. EDUCATION COMMISSIONING & BUSINESS SERVICES (£50,000 underspending) Savings from delayed appointments to vacant posts. YOUTH SUPPORT PROGRAMME (£74,000 underspending) Savings from delayed appointments to vacant posts.

STRATEGY & PERFORMANCE DIVISION (£15,000 overspending) The net overspending is due to an officer made redundant but who has been redeployed on a secondment basis to another department at a lower rate. This leaves a difference for which CYP will identify offsetting savings. EARLY WARNINGS VOLATILE NUMBERS-DRIVEN SERVICES CYP Department has several large demand-led budgets where spending varies with the number of children or young people. Of these, SEN Placements, Payments to Private Nurseries and Pupil Referral are in the DSG funded Schools‟ Budget, and Social Care Placements, Disability placements, Leaving Care, SEN transport, and YOT are in the Council Tax funded budget. The Department monitors these budgets closely. TRANSFER OF SCHOOLS TO ACADEMY STATUS Schools converting receive that school‟s own budget, a share of the non-Schools' Budget and of the Schools' Budgets retained at LA level (and also parts of corporate budgets such as Finance, Legal, Property and HR). The potential longer-term impact has previously been reported to Members, and it had been assumed that for the current financial year only the Schools' Budget would reduce, since Revenue Support Gant for all Councils was top sliced to take account of this. However, on 19 July notice was received of a consultation on the future funding of schools, and that

“The Secretary of State for Education, in consultation with the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, has agreed to reconsider the appropriate reduction to local authority funding to be made to reflect the transfer of central services from local authorities to academies and Free Schools. This consideration will apply to the transfers for both the 2011-12 and 2012-13 financial years.”

It is therefore possible that further in-year reductions will be made to RSG funding.

APPENDIX 8

IMPACT ON FUTURE YEARS' BUDGETS OF CURRENT VARIANCES IN THE COUNCIL TAX FUNDED BUDGETS

Description

2011/12 Latest

Approved Budget £’000

Variation To

2011/12 Budget £’000

Impact on 2012/13

SEN Transport 3,357 100k overspent

SEN Transport is currently projected to be £100k overspent.

The savings target for 11/12 from re-tendering may not be achieved in full. Every effort will be made to achieve the full saving this year, or certainly by 2012/13, but this is a volatile demand driven budget.

Children's Placement Projections (Appendix 5)

9,535 94k overspent

The full year effect of new placements made during 2011/12 would cause an overspending of £234k. Any overspending in 2012/13 will be contained in the total CYP budget allocation, to the extent that it has not been factored into the four year forecast.

Safeguarding & Social Care Division

21,356 100k overspent

(salaries element)

Substantial progress has already been made in replacing expensive locum agency staff with employees.

However, any overspending in 2012/13 will be contained in the total CYP budget allocation, to the extent that it has not been factored into the four year forecast.

SEN Children's Disability Team Placements

1,559 660 The full year effect of new placements made during 2011/12 would cause an overspending of £632k Management action should eliminate or substantially reduce this overspending, but any remaining overspending in 2012/13 will be contained in the total CYP budget allocation, to the extent that it has not been factored into the four year forecast.
