Nowhere to Turn: Strengthening the safety net for children and families in crisis

Nowhere to Turn Campaign Report

Many families in this country will at some time find themselves facing a ‘financial crisis’ point – a financial problem which puts the immediate health and well-being of family members at risk. Examples include running out of money for food or for fuel during a period of cold weather, or a key household item such as a fridge or boiler breaking down. If these immediate crises are not rectified quickly, then the impact could be severe, even in the short term. 

The Nowhere to Turn Report explores why families are falling into crisis, the impact it has on families with children, and the changes to the system of crisis support.

Children and young people’s services: Funding and spending 2010/11 to 2017/18

Children and young people’s services: Funding and spending 2010/11 to 2017/18

Joint analysis by The Children’s Society, Action for Children, Barnardo’s, NSPCC, and the National Children’s Bureau, showing the extent of cuts to children and young people's services. It finds that funding has fallen by £3 billion between 2010-11 and 2017-18 – a 29% reduction. Funding per child and young person has dropped from £813 in 2010-11 to £553 in 2017-18. At the same time, local authority spending on children and young people’s services fell by 16%. Diminishing funding, as demand on local authority children’s services increased, has left a funding gap which reached £1.4bn in 2017/18. Meanwhile, spending on early intervention services for children and young people, such as children’s centres, has fallen by 49%.
