To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many children were referred to children’s services on multiple occasions before receiving support from those services in each of the last three years.
The Department for Education does not hold the information in the format requested.
The number of children that were referred to children’s services on multiple occasions before receiving support is not routinely produced.
The department publishes figures on the total number of referrals to children’s social services within one reporting year, number of referrals which were within 12 months of a previous referral and the number of children re-referred within 12 months.
These figures for the past 6 years are available in table A1 of the main tables in the ‘Characteristics of children in need: 2017 to 2018’ statistical release on gov.uk and here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/characteristics-of-children-in-need-2017-to-2018/.

As children’s services are delivered through local government, the vast majority of their funding comes through the local government finance settlement (LGFS).
Over the 5 year period from 2015-16 to 2019-20, councils have access, through the LGFS, to over £200 billion to deliver local services. This core spending power, £43.7 billion in 2016-17, £44.3 billion in 2017-18 and £45.1 billion in 2018-19, is un-ring fenced and it is for local authorities to determine spend across different areas according to local priorities, including children’s and early help services.
In addition to this the Autumn Budget announced a further £410 million in 2019-20 for local authorities to invest in adult and children’s social care services. It also announced £84 million of extra funding, over the next 5 years, to support local authorities to invest in initiatives that improve social work practice and decision making.
