In the correspondence, DfE officials warn all organisations receiving funding from the Children, Young People and Families Grant to think carefully about how they spend government money.
"All activities which relate to policies that are no longer the priority of the current government should be referred immediately to your link worker," the letter states.
It goes on to order a freeze on all advertising and marketing of programmes funded through the grant, banning any spending on merchandise, and calling for conferences and events to be carefully considered and publications and briefings to be kept to a minimum. In addition, use of the old Department for Children, Schools and Families logo has been banned, while use of the new DfE logo will also be restricted. Website development should also be "carefully assessed", according to the letter.
