Department for Education awarded a contract to Mutual Ventures for tailored support and expertise to local authorities involved in the Children's Social Care Strengthening Families, Protecting Children (SFPC) programme.

The contract, valued at £2,956,836, supports the implementation of whole-system change in children's social care services across up to 20 councils.

The SFPC programme, backed by up to £84 million over five years from April 2019, aims to reduce the number of children entering care by helping local authorities adopt projects like Leeds' Family Valued, Hertfordshire's Family Safeguarding, and North Yorkshire's No Wrong Door.
