Every Child in Norfolk Matters

1. Every Child in Norfolk Matters A Logical Framework for Change

2. We started with a Vision for Children • We believe all children and young people have the right to be: - Healthy, happy and safe - Loved, valued and respected

3. We started with a Vision for Children • We believe all children and young people have the right to be: - Healthy, happy and safe - Loved, valued and respected • And that they have the right to have: - High aspirations for their future

4. We started with a Vision for Children • All Norfolk’s citizens have responsibility in helping achieve this Vision for children; and

5. We started with a Vision for Children • All Norfolk’s Citizens have responsibility in helping achieve this Vision for children; and • We all must recognise the rights of children and young people in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child

6. We know what outcomes we wish to achieve for children • By the time they start school, we want children in Norfolk to: • Have secure relations • Be eager, excited, curious and engaged in learning • Have a sense of self and confidence • Be able to co-operate and communicate • Have optimal health, development and activity

7. We know what outcomes we wish to achieve for children • By the time they go to secondary school, we want children in Norfolk to be: • Learning and achieving • Confident, happy and emotionally healthy • Healthier and safer

8. We know what outcomes we wish to achieve for children • By late adolescence, we want children in Norfolk to be: • Loved • Engaged • Enjoying and Achieving • Able to Relate Socially • Safe • Healthy • And so: • Feel Equipped to Tackle the Stresses of Life

9. We know what outcomes we wish to achieve for children • By improving outcomes for children by the time they: • Start school • Begin secondary school, and • Reach late adolescence • Norfolk will be better placed to meet the requirements of the Children Act 2004 for children to be: • Healthy • Safe • Enjoying and Achieving • Making a Positive Contribution, and • Achieving Economic Well-Being

10. In order to achieve these outcomes we have to improve children’s services • In the next five years we will: • Develop the capacity of schools to support the broad spectrum of children’s development and become the foci of their communities

11. In order to achieve these outcomes we have to improve children’s services • This full schools initiative will: • Give attention to the broader curriculum • Exploit the ‘public health’ potential of schools • Ensure the curriculum meets the needs of all Norfolk’s children • Make schools places where parents and other child advocates feel comfortable

12. In order to achieve these outcomes we have to improve children’s services • In the next five years we will: • Develop the range of children’s services proven to meet the needs of children whose health or development is actually impaired or likely to become so

13. In order to achieve these outcomes we have to improve children’s services • This initiative to put a range of services (instead of Departments) in place will: • Design, implement and evaluate at least 10 new services for families • Design, implement and evaluate at least 10 new services for children with acute needs • Replace activity that does not contribute to better outcomes for children, and • Improve access to services by attention to their location and the people children turn to for help

14. In order to achieve these outcomes we have to improve children’s services • In the next five years we will: • Boost Sure Start and other options for pre-school children and so create universal provision for those families that want it

15. In order to achieve these outcomes we have to improve children’s services • In the next five years we will: • Improve support to parents so they can better bring up their children

16. In order to achieve these outcomes we have to improve children’s services • This supporting families initiative will: • Work to improve housing for families with children, and • Develop public health initiatives to bring more information and support to all parents

17. In order to achieve these outcomes we have to improve children’s services • In the next five years we will: • Boost support for children from the communities in which they live, at the local, district and County level

18. In order to achieve these outcomes we have to improve children’s services • This initiative to make our communities resources for children will: • Better connect schools and the communities in which they are situated • Encourage people in the community to become advocates for children • Change the way adults think about childhood, and • Boost voluntary support for children

19. These five initiatives require integration and development of the infrastructure of children’s services • In the next two years we will integrate the referral and assessment of children by: • Creating a single threshold to measure impairment and so access to services • Introduce common screening procedures • Implement a common assessment framework, and • Modernise information sharing

20. These five initiatives require integration and development of the infrastructure of children’s services • In the next two years we will integrate staff development across children’s services by: • Introducing common training for the 15,000 people working with children in Norfolk • Building a common language to underpin assessment, prevention, planning and evaluation

21. These five initiatives require integration and development of the infrastructure of children’s services • In the next two years we will create a service design and evaluation function for children’s services by: - Creating a leadership position around service design, implementation and evaluation - Undertaking research and evaluation to measure effectiveness in reaching specified outcomes - Forging better connections to the international evidence base

22. Measuring progress in terms of children’s outcomes is a critical part of the strategy • Over the next five years our primary concern will be children’s outcomes: • That is measurable improvements in their well-being and development

23. Measuring progress in terms of children’s outcomes is a critical part of the strategy • Over the next five years our primary concern will be children’s outcomes: • That is, measurable improvements in their well-being and development • But we shall also collect data on outputs: • That is, how many services we provide, and how well

24. Measuring progress in terms of children’s outcomes is a critical part of the strategy • We are getting smarter about how we collect information on outcomes and outputs by: • Making sure information collection is well thought out • Collecting less information and doing more with it • Making sure we are driven by outcomes not outputs • Making information management integral and not an add-on to children’s services

25. Measuring progress in terms of children’s outcomes is a critical part of the strategy • There is an absolute fit between Norfolk outcomes and those in the Children Act 2004

26. There is an absolute fit between Norfolk outcomes and those in the Children Act 2004

27. There is an absolute fit between Norfolk outcomes and those in the Children Act 2004

28. Measuring progress in terms of children’s outcomes is a critical part of the strategy • Data required by central government and national inspections map directly onto the five initiatives in the strategy: • E.g. ‘number of children in secondary schools participating in the election of school council members and in mock general elections’ maps to the Full Schools Initiative • E.g. ‘voluntary and community engagement’ and ‘take up of sporting opportunities’ map to the ‘Making Our Communities Resources for Children’ Initiative

29. Measuring progress in terms of children’s outcomes is a critical part of the strategy • We are going to get smarter about how we collect data on outcomes and outputs: • Covering all children using local epidemiologies • Routine audit of service spread, take-up and match to needs • Evaluating different forms of service provision • Regular estimation of the cost of de-commissioning particular activities

30. This strategy requires that we change our investments in children • We are going to get smarter in the way we invest resources, e.g. • Working with school principals to help them get the most out of budgets held by schools • Establishing Trust arrangements to pool budgets and make investments in the activities we think will lead to better outcomes • Building on central government investments, for example universal 0-4 years provision and extended schools • Better integrating the voluntary sector into our thinking

31. This strategy requires that we change our investments in children • We are going to get smarter at supporting the people who work in children’s services, e.g. • Enticing people to work in Norfolk by putting it at the cutting edge of children’s services in England • Developing a sense of professional community at the local level with a focus on clusters of schools • Making sure we have a high quality ‘change management’ programme to support staff through these developments • Instituting a workforce development initiative that takes account of demographic change, and • Ensuring consistent, collaborative and high quality leadership

32. Put simply, we think that: • By changing our investments

33. Put simply, we think that: • By changing our investments • To produce new initiatives for an integrated children’s services

34. Put simply, we think that: • By changing our investments • To produce new initiatives for an integrated children’s services • We can improve outcomes for children in Norfolk over next five years

35. Put simply, we think that: • By changing our investments • To produce new initiatives for an integrated children’s services • We can improve outcomes for children in Norfolk over next five years • And do so in a way that fits entirely with central government aspirations for the nation’s children

36. Put another way: • Better outcomes for children

37. Put another way: • Better outcomes for children • Will come from the development and integration of children’s services
