The money, which will be split between Dorset County Council, Bradford Council, and children's charity Coram, brings the total awarded under the latest round of the innovation fund to £29m.
Dorset Council will use the money to improve outcomes for children and families in the county, including through providing additional training and development for staff, and has been given funding for two years.
Bradford Council has been awarded funding for two years for its Rethinking Social Care project, which aims to improve integrated care for children in the City with complex needs.
Coram will use the money to work with four councils - Northamptonshire County Council, Manchester City Council, Reading Council and Slough Council - to help them make better use of data to improve the stability of long-term foster placements as well as improve post-18 support.
