South East Sufficiency Statement

Launching our New Statement

Home + Future is proud to publish its first regional Sufficiency Statement.

This Statement marks the start of a shared regional approach to understanding what children need, where pressures are greatest, and how we can work together to ensure every child has the right home and the right support.

It provides a common baseline, a clearer picture of challenges, gaps and opportunities across the region, and lays the groundwork for coordinated action.

And this is just the start.

We will continue to build and refine this shared understanding with our partners, using these insights to shape a forward plan that supports local authorities and, above all, strengthens outcomes for the children and young people we serve.
