Targeting Support
– Families where a need has been assessed through the Children’s Social Care, but not requiring Children’s Social Care interventions
– Post Child Protection Plan – benefiting from a post deregistration support package to reduce the likelihood of them returning into the social care system and been reregistered. Work will focus on building resilience and reducing risk.
– YOS– Persistent high risk Anti-social Behaviour
Current Work on Pathways
• One Front Door
• Agreed Thresholds- referral system
• Integrated Working Procedure Review
• CAF – review and alignment with Prevention
Developing a New ServiceConstant Services– Schools– Children’s Centres– TPT
Variable Services– Domestic Violence– Drugs and Alcohol– Parenting Support– Low Level Mental Health Support
• What blend of services do we need as we move forward?
The future Role of Children’s Centres
• Taking into account budget reductions – can children’s centres work in clusters to develop savings proposals of 10% and 20% that would minimise impact on service delivery?
• Identify the opportunities and risks with regard the introduction of charging for some services? (questions on tables)
Troubled Families
Troubled Families Programme - Overview
‘Troubled families’ are households who:
• Are involved in crime and anti social behaviour (ASB) ‐
• Have children not in school and
• Have an adult on out of work benefits
Further detail underpinning Three “filters” indicated in Guidance
Thus by implication they cause high cost to public purse
Troubled Families Programme
Salient points:
• We are “required” to “turn around” 1200 families over 3 years
• We will need to work with more families - not all will be “turned around”
• Payment by Results; “Results” defined by programme
Troubled Families Programme Progress so far• 157 meet 3/3, 667 - 2/3 criteria, across a spectrum of need• Database developed• Co-ordinator role ratified• Wider information sharing agreement drafted• Stakeholder meetings in place• Commissioned service review undertaken• Full project plan in place.
