The Local Picture
Children 2010-2015• Measuring performance data to determine where there
needs to be improvement
In October 2015 we developed Performance Management Framework (PMF). The PMF provides social workers and managers with the support and tools with which to make systematic, continuous improvement to the social work service they deliver to children and their families in Brighton & Hove:
1) Client Summary: An overview for the social worker of an individual client
2) Client Overview: A tool for social workers and managers to manage their caseload
3) Information for Managers: A Tool for POD Managers and Heads of Service to manage the performance of staff and the cases they hold
4) Quarterly Management Information Report:A report for Heads of Service and SLT to manage the performance of the Service
5) Children’s Services Performance Management Report: A report for the Directorate to manage the performance of the Service

Quality Assurance
“Senior leaders have a clear understanding of the strengths and areas for further development in their services, informed by a thorough and accurate self-assessment, alongside learning from regular comprehensive quality assurance framework auditing and peer reviews.” Ofsted, July 2018.
❑ The quality assurance framework places workers at the centre of quality assurance activity. Workers, with support from their managers, audit their own work to learn and critically analyse their own practice, focusing on outcomes and identifying solutions. Group Supervision to reflect on completed audits is encouraged.
❑ Regular Audits are completed each quarter. The cases for audit are randomly selected by the Performance Team and include a sample of cases which are at different points on the child’s journey e.g. CIN, CP and CIC.
❑ Thematic Audits are completed bi-annually and are led by the Head of Safeguarding and Quality Assurance Manager. The area of enquiry is identified from current practice issues, where more in depth scrutiny is indicated. The aim is to better understand specific aspects of the child’s pathway, and to make recommendations for further action. The Executive Director, Families, Children & Learning (FCL); the Assistant Director and the Heads of Service are involved in the completion of thematic audits.
❑ LSCB Thematic Audits- 2 per year, multi agency audits❑ Each year the Senior Leadership Team including the Executive Director, Families, Children & Learning and the
Chair of the Children, Young people & Skills Committee undertake a Practice Focus Week to coincide with World Social Work Day.

Developing effective partnerships with healthcare, education, the community voluntary sector and the police
What this means for the partnership

• Exploitation Group- joint LSCB/SAB and CSP
• Missing from School Strategy ( addressing part time timetables)

• Police Intelligence Briefings for Families, Children and Learning
• Adolescent Vulnerability and Risk Meetings
• Prevention services embedded into Adolescent services and working in schools
• CP v CIN area we are grappling with
• What does CP give you if parents are working with you.
• How do you hold the partnership to account and work with them under CIN.
Using child in need plans to develop a targeted package of care for individuals who have been identified to be at risk from child exploitation
Where next with CP verses CIN
• Look to develop independent chairs for some network meetings
• Looking at how we work with parents' at an earlier point
• Use of AMBIT model of working, can social workers ‘hold’ other professionals who have the relationship
