Can we expand further on the leadership issues and solutions ?

Do the key findings make sense ?

Can we prepare for change better, what are the things you need to cope right now (except money of course) ?

Forum

1. The biggest area of the sectors contribution – at all levels

2. Enables children and young people to develop and contribute to their communities

3. Success is built on a heritage and flexibility of provision

4. Better partnerships working reported in this strand

5. Demonstrating impact continues to be a concern

6. There is a need for differentiated approaches to support the full range of potential service providers

A Positive Contribution

Page 10: Children Matter East East of England Children and Young Peoples VCS Forum Every Contribution Matters Funded through Children England

Children Matter East

East of England Children and Young Peoples VCS

Forum

1. A very wide range of early intervention and preventative services supporting the Stay Safe outcome

2. Works closely with statutory partners

3. Infrastructure umbrellas appear critical

4. Hard to quantify how consistent practice is

5. CAF is inconsistent

6. Targets are not relevant to the sectors activity ( all sector problem)

7. Continuing problems with complex cases referral routes and access to practice support

Stay Safe

Page 11: Children Matter East East of England Children and Young Peoples VCS Forum Every Contribution Matters Funded through Children England

Children Matter East

East of England Children and Young Peoples VCS

Forum

1. A significant range and diversity of VCS services

2. Principally Emotional Well being and Disability ,

3. Physically active – sports clubs

4. TaMHS – some highlights

5. Not always clear that the sectors contribution is fully acknowledged by all partners

6. A strong narrative around service user participation

7. A weaker narrative around the sectors `secondary’ contribution to the quality of the workforce

Be Healthy

Page 12: Children Matter East East of England Children and Young Peoples VCS Forum Every Contribution Matters Funded through Children England

Children Matter East

East of England Children and Young Peoples VCS

Forum

1. The predominant focus on education targets diminishes the sectors contribution

2. There was strong evidence of a wealth of activity that supports the broader educational attainment

3. There were real concerns from providers that their preventative services would be the first to go

4. The sectors activity supports; School attendance, volunteering and training,

skills development and the broadening of horizons as young people move into the world of work and adulthood, particularly for the more disadvantaged.

Enjoy and Achieve

Page 13: Children Matter East East of England Children and Young Peoples VCS Forum Every Contribution Matters Funded through Children England

Children Matter East

East of England Children and Young Peoples VCS

Forum

1. The outcome lacks of a solid framework for the sector

2. The sector was particularly effective in assisting vulnerable children, young people and /or their parents to acquire the skills and knowledge needed for employment

3. The sectors tradition of holistic, sustained hard to reach support, is instrumental in supporting this outcome

4. Change is often long term in such circumstance and the sectors contribution to this outcome is disproportionally impacted by short term funding

Economic Well being

Do these feel like sensible conclusions ?

Have we missed anything out ?

How can we address some of the poorer results ?

Forum

• Despite improvements the arrangements appear to be consistent barrier to the sectors ability to contribute further

• No real acceleration

• Support (where and when it is available) is valued

• Inconsistency costs money

• Reductions in the sectors cost base will be counter productive

Commissioning

Forum

• The way activity is measured is complex and unhelpful to the sector

• Some of the alignment between activity and targeted is out of sync

• The sector delivers across more than a vertical strand e.g. Stay Safe and has a wider less easily defined contribution

• UNCRC – there has to be a framework

• The five ECM outcomes and 25 sub divisions might be more manageable

• Hinders; reporting, needs analysis and commissioning

National Indicators

Forum

• This remains the biggest challenge and obstacle

• Very hard to quantify softer outcomes – not alone in this

• The reactive position of hard data is burdensome

• Research suggested that the time spent resolving reporting requirements reduces the real investment in outcome improvement

• What can be done about it ?

3. Refining the need 4. Developing solutions 5. Providing support

Page 27: Children Matter East East of England Children and Young Peoples VCS Forum Every Contribution Matters Funded through Children England

1. How do infrastructure or VCS support services modernize themselves to adapt to needs and restraints

2. What can be done to support each area or sub sectors ability to maintain its VCS preventative services

3. How does the sector reflect its total contribution in an area or theme

Sector led support to develop the sectors practice and its ability to be at the centre of children and young peoples delivery partnerships
