The Next Chapter – Children’s Services Mapping at the level of the Children’s Trust • Association of Directors of Children’s Services have decided to extend methodology to all Children’s Services and DH /DCSF have agreed to sponsor • Will include all statutory children’s services and as many non statutory services as practicable (LA managed or commissioned services together with Health and the voluntary sector) but excludes schools and carries no personal data • Children and Young People’s Partnerships as overall coordinators of both health and LA service mapping • Integrate cost information to develop a complete picture of investment in children’s services • Full picture of the make up of the children’s workforce and degree to which they work across sectors
The Next Chapter – Children’s Services Mapping at the level of the Children’s Trust • Ability to report on key themes of integration across health, education and social care • Disabilities • Emotional Well Being • Contribution of agencies to different models of integration e.g. children’s centres, healthy schools, extended services • Can show the who, where and what is collectively provided in the way of Universal, targeted and specialised services • Can tell us about models of service delivery in relation to the 5(25) outcomes

The key challenges and how you can help… • Some of the challenges: • Developing a new integrated process using CYPSPs • Reporting a single commissioning budget for children • Developing a common list of staff groups recognised by all sectors • Reflecting the role of the voluntary sector without adding unnecessary burden • Retraining health mappers and engaging LAs, some for the first time • Reflecting both an ECM and an NSF focus in the way we report on progress • Ways you can help: • Contribute to the EWG; by email or attendance • Use your network to engage and disseminate the benefits
