In 2018, the Care Experienced Children and Young People fund (CECYP) began, providing funding to local authorities to enable them to target initiatives, activities, and resources that will improve the educational outcomes of this group of young people.In 2022, the Scottish Attainment Challenge was refreshed, and the ‘Schools Programme and ‘Challenge Authorities’ funds were replaced by Strategic Equity Funding (SEF) which provided grants to all 32 local authorities.The total amount provided to each local authority within these funding programmes in each financial year* since 2015-16 are as follows: 2015-162016-172017-182018-192019-202020-212021-222022-232023-24Aberdeen City£115,254£328,243£3,264,876£3,409,052£4,021,781£4,113,976£4,777,267£4,163,137£4,302,373Aberdeenshire£0£0£2,569,200£2,906,520£3,430,600£3,233,185£3,823,272£3,909,227£4,226,527Angus£0£0£2,113,200£2,118,240£2,394,880£2,382,431£2,815,731£2,718,079£2,919,059Argyll & Bute£16,665£19,879£1,340,202£1,425,495£1,563,762£1,473,413£1,746,517£1,637,110£1,776,791Clackmannanshire£482,208£1,242,458£3,108,000£3,151,211£3,427,165£3,264,342£3,570,907£3,186,389£2,924,359Dumfries & Galloway£43,936£60,481£2,998,509£3,109,671£3,435,706£3,316,675£3,883,445£3,879,174£4,175,854Dundee City£701,329£3,135,370£10,045,244£10,568,958£11,150,976£11,181,281£12,442,488£10,325,609£9,181,564East Ayrshire£291,470£814,836£5,897,260£7,090,299£7,621,819£7,565,208£8,250,453£7,224,930£6,594,511East Dunbartonshire£0£0£1,564,800£1,588,440£1,782,434£1,788,723£2,120,338£1,986,260£2,119,730East Lothian£0£0£1,569,600£1,565,160£1,823,557£1,814,715£2,134,716£2,175,877£2,384,767East Renfrewshire£0£0£1,370,400£1,412,040£1,556,240£1,442,825£1,721,026£1,719,495£1,842,830Edinburgh City£304,535£742,935£8,257,293£8,276,495£9,547,788£9,164,717£10,540,094£9,377,776£9,976,813Eilean Siar£0£0£274,800£290,880£338,391£327,413£388,016£476,241£477,189Falkirk£73,000£169,463£3,797,974£3,835,057£4,263,853£4,177,157£4,935,327£4,602,820£4,948,309Fife£416,112£666,213£10,750,302£11,151,018£12,023,174£11,660,123£13,609,549£12,045,243£12,846,433Glasgow City£1,389,969£7,537,018£29,022,634£30,200,152£33,197,000£32,416,002£36,713,592£32,941,570£32,577,601Highland£91,269£385,146£4,695,262£5,269,590£5,699,886£5,509,668£6,346,310£5,545,507£5,536,773Inverclyde£580,092£1,512,219£5,154,900£5,399,265£6,013,910£6,028,744£6,517,856£5,503,244£4,767,926Midlothian£0£0£2,272,800£2,315,195£2,513,155£2,415,784£2,837,045£2,766,037£2,924,641Moray£0£0£1,270,800£1,341,960£1,575,607£1,564,920£1,833,754£1,812,530£1,970,831North Ayrshire£635,530£2,670,922£8,513,518£9,906,960£10,841,444£10,523,195£11,382,620£9,284,763£8,153,571North Lanarkshire£1,340,200£5,539,184£15,052,052£15,519,383£16,411,949£17,266,164£19,078,558£16,749,486£15,683,771Orkney Islands£0£0£206,400£232,200£252,280£270,404£310,786£379,394£380,038Perth & Kinross£0£0£1,608,000£1,661,520£1,983,400£1,930,393£2,268,976£2,359,726£2,611,357Renfrewshire£177,272£850,670£7,611,801£8,796,635£9,753,471£9,439,188£10,321,570£8,902,256£8,099,877Scottish Borders£36,500£24,462£1,986,781£2,075,633£2,146,802£2,130,518£2,486,595£2,299,996£2,552,944Shetland Islands£0£0£188,400£233,880£264,800£256,116£295,476£374,749£372,732South Ayrshire£150,400£296,668£2,822,323£2,812,723£3,152,671£3,075,598£3,531,679£3,146,264£3,258,733South Lanarkshire£548,690£1,008,444£9,595,144£9,901,641£10,354,517£10,802,098£12,479,203£11,052,369£11,076,881Stirling£39,261£118,916£1,598,425£1,660,079£1,906,328£1,809,478£2,095,137£1,808,754£1,938,886West Dunbartonshire£778,595£1,674,611£5,393,508£5,469,695£5,883,735£5,593,331£6,248,668£5,518,428£5,207,971West Lothian£24,750£172,829£5,304,893£5,538,606£5,836,535£5,619,145£6,611,595£6,172,245£6,551,661*CECYP funding is distributed across the academic year rather than financial year.
