The Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) will make 500m of cuts to its budget to contribute to the government's pledge to save 11bn, announced in this year's budget.

Earlier this month CYP Now reported that the department is set to make savings that include cutting £135m of education quangos' budgets, £100m from extended services and £50m funding for golden hellos to attract new applicants to teaching. £21m is expected to be saved from reorganisation of the DCSF's "backroom staff".

Additionally the DCSF has said it will also work with schools to save £950m through measures including improving procurement and lowering energy usage.

While further education colleges and children's centres will be expected to save around £150m in total.
