Executive Summary
This report provides a summary of the financial performance of the Education, Children
and Families Service for the period 1 April 2022 to 16 September 2022 (Period 6).  The
report illustrates the projected outturn position as at 31 March 2023, with major outturn
variances highlighted and explained per North Lanarkshire Council’s approved Financial
Regulations.   
The Education, Children and Families Service has a Net Revenue Budget of £461.467m
for the 2022/23 financial year. 
Incorporated within the Revenue Budget are approved savings totalling £6.830m. It is
anticipated that £3.969m (58.11%) of these savings will be realised during the current
financial year. 
The Service is currently forecasting a net overspend of £5.144m to the end of the financial
year. The overspend primarily reflects in-year contractual inflation uplifts. 
Recommendations 
It is recommended that the Education, Children and Families Committee: 
(1) Review the financial position of the Education, Children and Families revenue budget.  
(2) Review the contents of the report.

1. Background 
1.1 North Lanarkshire Council’s approved Financial Regulations require Deputy Chief
Executives and Heads of Service to remain within their approved budgetary provision,
and to report all significant deviations - defined as the higher of £100,000 or 5% - within
their budget monitoring reports. Where significant deviations are identified, officers
must provide explanatory commentary, outline the action required to rectify such
deviations and where relevant, must also highlight the impact this has on other budget
headings.   
2. Report
2.1 Summary of Financial Position
2.1.1 North Lanarkshire Council approved its General Fund Revenue Budget on 17 February
2022 of which £465.120m (52.4%) represented the approved Net Revenue Budget for
Education, Children and Families. During 2022/23 there has been a net budget
reduction of £3.653m to £461.467m following the realignment of staff groups to the
Chief Executives Service including the Administrative & Finance Assistant (AFA) team
and Technicians Service. 
2.1.2 The Service is forecasting a net overspend of £5.144m to the end of the financial year. 
Further analysis of major variances is provided within Section 2.2 of this report.
2.1.3 Included within the net overspend position are significant, in-year, inflationary cost
pressures.  There are material inflationary pressures linked to increases in utility costs
across the Service’s educational and Active & Creative Communities estate (£4.854m),
coupled with further increases to mainstream and ASN pupil transport contracts
(£3.092m).  
As part of the Council’s financial planning process, resources were previously
earmarked following the closure of the 2021/22 annual accounts to help offset the
projected inflationary pressures faced by Services during the current financial year. The
consolidated position summarising in-year inflationary pressures and funding across
each Service will be presented in the Council’s summary budget monitoring report. 
2.1.4 The current 2022/23 budget incorporates £6.830m of savings previously approved by
the Council on 17 February 2022.  Further information regarding particularly
challenging savings, along with associated management actions and replacement in-
year savings, are included within this report at Appendix 5. 
2.2 Analysis of Significant Variations
2.2.1 The Service has a total employee budget of £372.489m and currently anticipates a
projected underspend of £4.855m. The underspend reflects actual and projected
vacancies, coupled with the roll out of confirmed HQ and cluster staffing structures.  
2.2.2 Service employee budgets are partly devolved to establishments per the Devolved
School Management (DSM) scheme, with the remaining budgets held at HQ level.  
2.2.3 Under the DSM scheme devolved staffing budgets for teaching and non-teaching posts
are delegated to Head Teacher management.  Establishments receive allocations on
the basis of agreed formulas and individual pupil needs.  Devolved staffing budgets for
financial year 2022/23 are £206.614m.

2.2.4 The Service is anticipating an overspend of £5.608m within Property Costs
predominantly as a result of increased costs in relation to utilities/energy (£5.171m)
along with other minor overspends across the Service (£0.437m).
2.2.5 The Service is anticipating an underspend of £1.554m within Supplies & Services
primarily due to synergies with external funding, management action and the
curtailment of non-essential expenditure within Cluster/HQ support (£1.154m) and
Active and Creative Communities (£0.400m).
2.2.6 The Service is anticipating an overspend of £5.394m within Transport and Plant which
reflects ongoing demand pressures within ASN transport (£2.703m) and increases to
mainstream transport contract rates (£2.674m) along with minor overspends across the
Service (£0.017m).
2.2.7 The Service is anticipating an underspend of £0.370m within Administration Costs
primarily due to management action and the curtailment of non-essential expenditure.
2.2.8 The Service is anticipating an overspend of £1.126m within Payments to Other Bodies
primarily in relation to external placements within ASN service provision (£0.743m) and
Family Fostering and Kinship awards (£0.303m) along with other minor overspends
across the Service (£0.080m).
2.2.9 The Service is anticipating an underspend of £1.988m within Other Expenditure
primarily due to synergies with external funding, management action and the
curtailment of non-essential expenditure within Cluster/HQ support (£2.015m) partially
offset by minor overspends within other Service areas (£0.027m).
2.2.10 The Service is anticipating an under recovery of income of £1.784m in relation to
membership and visitors fees for Active and Creative Communities (£1.697m) and
fewer cross-boundary ASN placements within NLC (£0.366m), partially offset by minor
over recoveries across the Service (£0.279m). 
2.3 Earmarked and One-off Resources
2.3.1 In finalising North Lanarkshire Council’s annual accounts to 31 March 2022, the
Education, Children and Families Service was given approval to earmark £104.810m
of resources represented by £85.527m (Non-Covid) and £19.282m (Covid) to fund key
projects and initiatives.  Most of this reserve (£54.175m) is earmarked for existing
school building contractual commitments.  Other specific reserves include Pupil Equity
Fund (PEF) carry forwards, Devolved School Management (DSM) carry forwards, and
ring-fenced 1140 Hours grant.  Future monitoring reports will provide updates on use
of these reserves during 2022/23 as outlined in Appendix 4. 
2.4 2022/23 Budget Savings and Growth
2.4.1 The Council previously approved total savings of £16.484m during 2022/23. The initial
Education, Children and Families Service savings target for 2022/23 was £6.830m. The
Service uses a variety of information, records, and processes to monitor achievement
of its approved budget savings. As at Period 6, it is anticipated that £3.969m (58.11%)
of the approved savings target will be realised in the current financial year (Appendix
5).
2.4.2 The unachieved savings of £2.861m have predominantly arisen due to temporary
operational timing delays, the phased introduction of new staffing structures,
consideration of the school academic calendar, and impact of Covid-19.  In year
management action has been taken to address this savings gap during 2022/23 with
savings expected to be fully achieved during future financial years.

2.4.3  As part of the Council’s approved General Fund Revenue Budget for 2022/23, the
Education, Children & Families Service were allocated £3.470m (Appendix 6) towards
several one-off investments. Future monitoring reports will provide updates on use of
these one-off investment allocations during 2022/23.      
2.5 Management Action
2.5.1 Management will continue to review and implement actions through to financial year
end with the aim of minimising the Service the projected overspend position. These
actions will include:-
a) Vacancy management.
b) Creating efficiencies through use of grant/external funding.
c) Curtailment of non-essential expenditure.
d) Application of earmarked reserves to offset one-off cost pressures.
