The large increase in the neèd for support lor 8ducatk)nal matlers inclLhJes the need lo support families as they are processed IhTough the system. Tho key dgmgnt of this work is to ensure the correct level of support lor the child is put in place. Vve are finding thal the support we gNe in this area is increasing auoss a widè rangé of lamilies and across all income brackets, not just on families with hardship needs. The long waiting 1151s lor stalutory services to be able to assess and Supp thildren ¥th educational hélp piBns are th8 driver behind this in¢rease in our workload. There are $mall irt¢reas@s in work around relationship issue5 and menlal health issues. but wrth rnany of our familie$ being ongoing casès tha speed of growth ha5 slowed in ttse areas. This reflects some of the improvements we made with thg long-term familie5 over the previous year. The impact thal we make year on year with the familie5 we support with CoMpX needs reinfOS the need for the long4erm holistic nature of the woTrrk we undertake. In Sre inStanS. thère is little change but slabikty, wthh is essential for the wellbeing ol children. The decline in bolh financial and housing issu¢s rellects the impa¢t ol lOnterM 5UPPOrt.
