As one of the largest government departments, our campaigns aim to give people straightforward information about policies and services that make a real difference in their daily lives. We focus on helping some of the UK’s most vulnerable households by showing them what support is available and how to access it. For example, letting pensioners know they could get extra money to help with living costs and explaining how to apply, guiding people through the steps to switch from older benefits to Universal Credit so they don’t miss out on payments, and sharing advice on how to access jobs and skills support.Advertising is essential to reach the right people with these messages. We choose media channels that give the best value for money and have the biggest impact for taxpayer.Total spend with our buying and planning agencies for the last three financial years is as follows: (amounts are rounded to nearest £0.1m): YearSpend2024-2025£8,500,0002023-2024£8,700,0002022-2023£5,200,000

The department's combined expenditure on advertising and marketing for the last three financial years is shown below: • 2022/23: £34,652,453.53 • 2023/24: £45,761,086.36 • 2024/25: £ 49,833,936.25This paid marketing activity directly supports operational delivery by helping to recruit more school and college teachers and early years staff, and by ensuring parents are aware of the support available to them and their families, including childcare entitlements and Best Start Family Hubs. It also raises awareness and understanding, and encourages take-up, of government-funded technical qualifications, skills and training offers amongst young people and adults, which is vital to economic growth and opportunity across the country. The rising spend reflects the changing media landscape and high levels of media inflation, and where paid-for advertising and marketing is used, it is subject to Cabinet Office spending controls, which ensure taxpayer money is spent cost-effectively and reflects professional best practice. Where possible, activity is delivered in-house as part of cross-government campaigns or at low cost through partner coordination.
