  6. CYP&F Underpinning Principles Reviewing statutory responsibilities; and how we could meet them differently. Removal of ring fences and grant reduction means not a salami slice approach, but total service redesign with built in flexibility to adapt to the shifting landscape. Prioritising support to our most vulnerable children. Multi-disciplinary: multi-agency, partners and community working together, sharing assets and forming more integrated teams. Investing in early intervention and prevention. Assessing impact on equalities. Avoiding unintended consequences. Using evidence to invest wisely. 6

Not ring-fenced 3 items highlighted that EIG provides support for: Free early education disadvantaged 2 yr olds Short breaks for disabled children Sure start children’s centres Plus Raising participation age to 18 by 2015 Transitional arrangements from IAG to all age careers service Prevent yp taking part in risky behaviours Support yp with LDD & MH problems Improve outcomes for families with multiple & complex problems Link to community budgets Early Intervention Grant

  9. Our Early Intervention Proposal • Join separate services currently working and contributing to intervene where children and their families need additional support, eliminating duplication • Create one new simpler, streamlined cost effective multi-disciplinary and multi-agency Early Intervention Service. • Deliver the new service locally using 7 existing young people’s centre premises as hubs – (capable of still delivering youth work in evenings, weekends and school holidays)

  10. FACEIT NEET = Not in Education, Employment or Training FACEIT = Family & Child Early Intervention Team Inclusion = Attendance Behaviour Inclusion Educational Psychologists YOS = Youth Offending Service FIP = Family Intervention Project Youth YOS & FIP Plus smaller central countywide services

  11. Hub Locations • Audit of family need • Size and condition of accommodation and parking arrangements, including recent capital investment; maximising use of buildings and minimising transport • capable of operating as a centre for front line workers and with family facing facilities - Back on Track pay back • Geographical spread

  12. Banbury Wood Green Early Intervention Hubs based in Young Peoples Centres Bicester Courtyard Witney East Oxford Union St ANO Central Location TBC Abingdon Net Didcot Vibe

  13. Geography • 3 Areas – as now co-terminus with children’s social care • 14 localities - corporate • 7 hubs • 26 school partnerships

  14. Raising Achievement and Attainment - emphasis on readiness to learn • Persistent absence • Exclusions from school (fixed term and permanent) • Number of young people Not in Employment, Education or Training (NEET) • Young people offending, including first time entrants to the criminal justice system and re-offending • Anti-social behaviour • Child poverty • Teenage pregnancy rates • Substance misuse • Young people admitted to hospital for non accidental injuries indicating self harm • Disadvantage as measured at Foundation Stage Profile • Young Carers

  15. Hub Structure

  16. Staffing of hubs

  17. How will other services change?

  18. CAF TAC/TAF FACEIT • Work further developed through EI service delivered through hubs • No reduction in resource – an actual enhancement • Lead professional availability • 7 hubs rather than 3 bases – more local and responsive *CAF = Common Assessment Framework TAC/TAF Team Around Child/Family FACEIT – Family and Children Early Intervention Team

  19. Young People’s Centres Audit of Need Early Intervention Hubs Proposed for community led model Satellites School sites

  20. New Look Countywide Information Advice & Guidance (currently provided by Connexions pending all age careers service) • Schools and College resource allocation to continue for Information, Advice and Guidance and statutory LDD assessments as before but more focus on vulnerable groups, IAG workers to be based on school/college sites - using current provider for 1 further year. • Very small central integrated management team overseeing; commissioning, and contract monitoring, single interactive web site, performance, management information, youth QA and development, co-ordination SEN/NEET. • One city centre client facing centre – Gloucester Green • Workers in the hubs focussing on NEET case work, vulnerable groups and Post-16 NEET

  21. Youth Offending Service • A centrally managed resource will remain to deliver statutory court work, ISS (Intensive supervision and surveillance), MAPPA (Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements), resettlement etc. • All YOS prevention resources will be allocated to become part of the new early intervention teams in the hubs. Children and young people at risk of offending will be supported through the hubs. The FIP (Family Intervention Project) will be delivered and managed through the hubs. Current resource will move to hubs from YOS budgets

  22. Inclusion Access & Engagement (IAE) • Much reduced central team carrying out only statutory functions, commissioning and data analysis re EPS, PRU (short stay school), Alternative Provision, Attendance, EHE, Social Inclusion Officers • EP team will be attached to SEN team to carry out statutory assessments (as well as advice and guidance in relation to SEN) as required; any discretionary advisory work will need to be charged for • All teams will contribute resource to teams running early intervention from hubs – one EP attached to each hub • Buy Back services developed for schools that wish to have more resource offering specialist services to support behaviour

  23. Children’s Centres, Parenting and Childcare • Significant reductions in central management and development stage functions; removing duplication • Reduction in passported grants. The effect will be felt by early years providers rather than children's centres as they receive their funding through the funding formula.  Early years providers include pre-schools, day nurseries, out of school childcare providers and childminders • Children’s centres will provide a network of outreach bases as spokes from the 7 early intervention hubs • Children’s centres will continue to provide a range of universal and targeted services in 2011-12 • During 2011 there will be a review of the impact of our children’s centres alongside and related to the development of the early intervention hubs This will include consultation with service users and key stakeholders.

  24. Extended Services, locality work and play • Home School Link workers and ESCOs will need to continue to play important role. Extended services funding is all passported to schools rather than being held and distributed by LA • Other work will be delivered in conjunction with individual schools, school partnerships and children’s centres working closely with the hubs.

  25. Education • Reduced funding • Diversity of provision and freedoms • Free schools • Academies • Pupil premium • Champion of vulnerable children • Behaviour and discipline • Raising age of participation • Accountability? • Market failure

  26. SEN & Alternative Education • No reduction in central SEN support to schools in 2011-12; Awaiting SEN green paper • No reduction to PRU budget in 2011-12 pending review of provision and support for behaviour and discipline – to Forum. • Charging being recommended for some additional behaviour support services

  27. The Challenge To build a self improving and self sustaining education system for Oxfordshire Only good or outstanding schools Available locally in every partnership

  28. Children’s Social Care National patterns increasing referrals and CLA • No reduction in staffing • Protection of the front line • Slight change in emphasis on management responsibilities • Clear lines of sight • YOS court work • Disabilities teams

  29. Children’s Social Care

  30. CYP&F- Implications for the Voluntary Sector Autumn 2010 Significant Challenges: There will be increased demands on the VCS and less funding at the disposal of the public sector. Many activities provided by VCS are funded by grants from CYP&F – future uncertain and when un-ring fenced competing priorities. Moving towards a greater commissioning approach, but will need to build in more flexibility to re-negotiate contracts. Need for greater identification of risk and management of risk. Opportunities: The Government wants to build ‘Big Society’ and locally we have been working on ideas for community self help. There will be greater opportunities for the Voluntary Sector to take centre stage in shaping the future. There will be a need for all partners to work more closely to make the most of combined resources. 33

  31. Implications March 2011 • Case work and working in partnership on direct provision – Families and individuals • Mentoring, counselling, diversionary activity • Future of services delivering youth work • Reviews over 11-12 with proposals to reshape for 12-13 • Children’s centres under review in preparation for re-shaping and re-commissioning • Services supporting behaviour under review – potential commissioning approach. • Future commissioning models – Localism bill • Sharing • Information sharing • Capacity building – infrastructure organisations – Big Society • sharing expertise and cross training • Coordination • Volunteering • Big Society implications • QA, evaluation, measuring progress
