The figures, which were calculated by the House of Commons Library in response to a request by shadow education secretary Andy Burnham (pictured), show how much funding will be available next year per child from the Early Intervention Grant in cash and real terms, compared with the funding available this year. The data is broken down by local authority area.
The research shows that some of the poorest areas, including Hackney, Islington, Tower Hamlets in London and Knowsley in Merseyside, are facing cuts of £100 per child or more, while wealthier areas such as Richmond, Buckinghamshire, Wokingham and Surrey are losing £30 per child.
Overall, funding for early intervention services is 22 per cent lower than for the last financial year.
Mr Burnham said, 'The areas being hit hardest are the most deprived. It's not only unfair, it's the wrong long-term decision for the country. By cutting too far and too fast and asking children and families to bear the brunt, this Tory-led Government is showing that they have no idea what pressure ordinary families are under.
'Early intervention services like Sure Start Children's Centres work with families to improve health, education and life chances. These services will be lost for years and this country will pay the price in terms of unfulfilled potential, poorer economic growth and halting social mobility for generations.'
The London Borough of Bromley is consulting on proposals to withdraw funding from 15 of its 18 children's centres and to cancel plans to build five new Phase Three settings.
Councillor Nicholas Bennett, a member of Bromley council's Children and Young People's Policy and Scrutiny Committee, wrote on the Conservative local government blog, 'The proposals currently out for consultation will result in five of the Phase Three centres which are in the least deprived areas of the borough not being built and a further 15 centres not being funded by the council in future.
'Our proposals, if adopted, will see the Sure Start programme returned to its original purpose of providing support for the most disadvantaged children and families. It is envisaged that the remaining centres will act as a service hub, with some services taking place at the centre and others in the local community.'
