This problem is a UK government area of research interest (ARI) that was originally posted at https://ari.org.uk/ by a UK government organisation to indicate that they are keen to see research related to this area.
To what extent does local authority spending in England on preventative services reduce spending on demand-led services? (e.g. the relationship between ‘early help’ spending and children’s social care spending in Children’s Services). How can this best be measured?
Further building our evidence and understanding on which public services, delivered at which level of government, deliver greatest public value and what we can learn from different policy approaches taken across the UK.
