Public dashboard · Demonstration

Every child counted. Every outcome measured.

A transparent view of the measures we intend to publish. The figures below are illustrative synthetic examples and are not children helped or savings achieved in a live programme.

What does additional access mean?

Count children whose entitlement is confirmed and who were not already recorded as receiving support at the baseline. Deduplicate records and confirm enrolment separately.

This identifies newly reached children. It does not prove that they would never have received help without the programme. That question needs comparative evaluation.

Live reporting will require approved aggregate data and small-number suppression. No pupil or family record is exposed by this dashboard.

Pilot impact · Proposed reinvestment

Turn verified savings into more support

If a pilot verifies net savings and approves £75,000 for reinvestment then that funding could provide more meals and practical support for children and families. This is a hypothetical allocation rather than savings achieved or support delivered.

Funding for support

£75,000

Illustrative potential only

Illustrative allocation after savings verification and approval. Time freed is not automatically cash available for support.

Additional meals

20,000

Illustrative potential only

£60,000 at an assumed £3 per meal. This counts meals rather than unique children. Actual delivery costs must be confirmed.

Wider support places

60

Illustrative potential only

£15,000 at an assumed £250 per child. Children could also receive meals so these figures must not be added as a unique-child total.

Verify net savings against the baseline. Approve the allocation. Record expenditure and confirm delivery. Report unique children reached separately with de-duplicated evidence. Verified savings and funded support are not available yet.

The evidence we still need

Time and money

Compare staff time per case and delivery costs against a baseline. No cash saving is asserted until costs and methods are validated.

Attendance and attainment

Evaluate associations with school attendance and educational attainment through approved linked data. Correlation is not proof of causation.

Holiday and wider meals

Track HAF participation and after-school meal access once these pathways are agreed. No live HAF enrolment or wider benefit count is reported.

A shared ambition

More children supported. Fewer barriers.

Help shape a governed approach to school meals and wider family support.
