The volume of children and young people coming into Essex care will be approximately 1,200 every year through to 2026/27.

Essex is expected to spend more than £64m across different commissioned services per annum. This is to support children and young people to achieve ensuring those who are most vulnerable. This includes access to a good education and can lead safe, happy, healthy lives.

Yearly rebased financial forecasts reflect changes in the volume of children and young people coming into care. This looks at the mix of provision to match the support and complexity of need required.
