This circular sets out the proposed requirements for the Safeguarding Children, Adoption Support and Special Guardianship Support Services, Choice Protects, Integrated Children's Services, Looked After Children Taskforce and Regional Development Workers Grants for 2004-05. In particular: a) The aims and objectives of the grants; b) The payment arrangements for each grant; c) A copy of the grant determination (including the final allocations for each grant); and d) Details of the audit arrangements for children's services grants paid in 2003-04.
Although many of the Department of Health's Children and Families functions have transferred to the Department for Education and Skills (DfES), these circulars will continue to be issued in the Local Authority Circular (LAC) series for the foreseeable future.
