This saving was dependent upon achievement of the investment in the in-house Hampshire fostering service to increase capacity which would in turn enable the department to reduce it's use of more costly IFP placements. The growth observed within Children Looked After numbers has impacted on the departments ability to achieve this saving. However, activity information demonstrates that the foster care investment has been successful in increasing capacity within the in-house foster care service, and as such has avoided the need for even greater use of more costly IFP placements. These avoided costs will have exceed the £400,000 savings target originally allowed for within the 2008/09 budget. |
