But a survey contained in the report reveals that the most senior care professionals in England, have little to no confidence that the risks of breaking up vital care services into smaller councils will be fully considered by ministers.<\/p>\n<p>Last year\u2019s English Devolution White Paper outlined plans for a radical overhaul of council structures, with government committing to end \u2018two-tier\u2019 local government: replacing 185 county and district councils with new unitary authorities in 21 areas.<\/p>\n<p>Official government guidance had set out that new unitary councils should have a population of 500,000 or more and \u2018avoid\u2019 the fragmentation of vital care services. However, this guidance outlined that there may be \u2018flexibility\u2019 on this number in certain scenarios. District councils across the country are proposing to break up county councils who deliver social care into new unitary councils with populations of 300,000 or lower. Each of these new authorities will deliver care services, rather than one single upper tier council as is the case today.<\/p>\n<p>The report by Newton concludes that the government\u2019s forthcoming decisions about the size of new unitary councils will have \u2018profound, long-lasting impacts on the most vulnerable members of society\u2019. It argues that the evidence strongly suggests larger-scale councils are \u2018essential\u2019 to preserve service quality, prevent rising costs, and ensure financial sustainability of people-based services.<\/p>\n<p>And now today\u2019s research, which draws on local data from half a million residents across 146 possible new unitary footprints, lays bare a further triple whammy of risks for care services and special educational needs:<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n\n    \n\n\n        <section id=\"\" class=\"align wp-block-acf-accordion has-background has-offwhite-background-color\">\n            <div class=\"block \">\n                            <div class=\"block-inner add-visible\">\n                <!-- General headline styles are set in common.scss -->\n\n<hgroup class=\"headline-wrapper  \" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"Heading group\">\n                <h2 aria-roledescription=\"subtitle\" class=\"main-title \">Report Findings<\/h2>\n        <\/hgroup>\n<div class=\"accordion-container\">\n    <div class=\"section-nav\">\n    \n            <button data-button-for=\"content-section-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><\/button>\n\n            <\/div>\n    <div class=\"content-area\">\n    \n        <div data-section=\"content-section-1\" class=\"content-section\">\n\n            \n            <div class=\"accordion-row\">\n                <div class=\"row-title\">\n                    <h3>New unitary councils with populations substantially below 500,000 people will increase the price councils pay for care, putting further financial costs on these under-pressure services.<\/h3>\n                    <button class=\"show-hidden\" type=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-label=\"Show information\">\n                        <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" fill=\"none\">\n<g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_4520_20644)\">\n<path d=\"M2.5 8H13.5\" stroke=\"#272C36\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"square\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/>\n<path d=\"M8 2.5V13.5\" stroke=\"#272C36\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"square\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/>\n<\/g>\n<defs>\n<clipPath id=\"clip0_4520_20644\">\n<rect width=\"16\" height=\"16\" fill=\"#272C36\"\/>\n<\/clipPath>\n<\/defs>\n<\/svg>\n                    <\/button>\n                <\/div>\n                <p class=\"row-content\">Modelling suggests that if all new unitary councils had a population below this figure, this would result in additional unit costs of between \u00a3180m and \u00a3270m annually solely as a result of reductions in purchasing power.

However, they say this research shows this can only be achieved by ensuring the government stick to their own statutory criteria and \u2018rigorously evaluate\u2019 all proposals against it.<\/p>\n<p>A survey carried out for the research reveals that whilst senior care professionals are cautiously optimistic about the potential benefits of reorganisation \u2013 if delivered in the right way \u2013 there are widespread concerns that the risks to care services will not be adequately considered by ministers when they make their decisions on competing proposals. Less than one in 10 (6%) of county council chief executives and directors of adult social care and children\u2019s services are confident they will be fully recognised.<\/p>\n<p>The report recommends that the government avoid, where possible, splitting up people-based services. Where this cannot be avoided, the government must ensure that all new authorities are above their stated criteria of 500,000 or more.<\/p>\n<p>The study also recommends that given the level of competing proposals, and the risks highlighted by the report, minister should give a heavy weighting towards the impact on splitting up these care services when they decide on proposals and should even consider appointing an independent body to evaluate the proposals.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n\n    \n\n\n        <section id=\"\" class=\"align wp-block-acf-cta-banner\">\n            <div class=\"block \">\n                            <div class=\"block-inner add-visible\">\n                \n<div class=\"cta-wrapper slategrey\">\n    <div class=\"content-wrapper\">\n        <!-- General headline styles are set in common.scss -->\n\n<hgroup class=\"headline-wrapper  \" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"Heading group\">\n                <h2 aria-roledescription=\"subtitle\" class=\"main-title \">Download a copy of the report<\/h2>\n        <\/hgroup>\n                                                            \n<a href=\"https:\/\/online.flippingbook.com\/view\/596354460\/\" class=\"newton-button \" target=\"\">\n    <span class=\"button-text\">Download<\/span>\n    <svg class=\"chevron-icon\" width=\"8\" height=\"14\" viewBox=\"0 0 8 14\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n        <path d=\"M0.875 0.75L7.125 7L0.875 13.25\" fill=\"#272C36\"\/>\n    <\/svg>\n    <div class=\"arrows\">\n        <svg class=\"button-arrow\" width=\"96\" height=\"192\" viewBox=\"0 0 96 192\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n            <path d=\"M0 0L96 96L0 192\" fill=\"#272C36\"\/>\n        <\/svg>\n        <svg class=\"button-arrow large\" width=\"147\" height=\"294\" viewBox=\"0 0 147 294\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n            <path d=\"M0 0L147 147L0 294\" fill=\"#272C36\"\/>\n        <\/svg>\n    <\/div>\n<\/a>\n                        <\/div>\n\n    <svg class=\"shape shape-left\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"321\" height=\"384\" viewBox=\"0 0 321 384\" fill=\"none\">\n        <path d=\"M284.14 437.741L79.369 339.437M284.14 437.741L319.454 212.513L177.324 133.323M284.14 437.741L79.5152 509.541L-57.0084 443.102M79.369 339.437L177.324 133.323M79.369 339.437L-57.0084 443.102M177.324 133.323L-94.3018 2.21111L-173.637 175.248L-57.0084 443.102\" stroke=\"#FF6223\" stroke-width=\"2\"\/>\n    <\/svg>\n\n    <svg class=\"shape shape-right\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"493\" height=\"422\" viewBox=\"0 0 493 422\" fill=\"none\">\n        <path d=\"M1 363.54L184.832 179.576M1 363.54L230.944 487.074L370.378 363.54M1 363.54V115.249L124.534 -7.06129M184.832 179.576L370.378 363.54M184.832 179.576L124.534 -7.06129M370.378 363.54L615 119.785L458.13 -31.5234L124.534 -7.06129\" stroke=\"#FF6223\" stroke-width=\"2\"\/>\n    <\/svg>\n\n<\/div>\n\n            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n\n    ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":1089,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-4998","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"pp_statuses_selecting_workflow":false,"pp_workflow_action":"current","pp_status_selection":"publish","acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
