Funding line includes: Special guardianship support - financial support paid to Special Guardianship families under the Special Guardianship Regulations 2005 and other staff and overhead costs associated with Special Guardianship Orders; Other children in looked after services - support to looked after young people; Short breaks (respite) for looked after disabled children; Children placed with family and friends - Where looked after children do not live with their birth parents, it is not uncommon for them to be placed with family and friend foster carers; Education of looked after children -This includes expenditure on the services provided to promote the education of the children looked after by your local authority; Leaving care support services - This Includes local authority’s ""leaving care"" support services functions under the Children (Leaving Care) Act 2000.
Gross figures are actual total estimated costs of the activities before allowance for any expected income, but after allowing for any “buyback” income from the authority’s own schools to avoid double counting. Both expenditure and income should be excluded where LA maintained schools are buying services.
