  8. How? We are on a journey so… • Set a strategic framework and build “bottom-up” • Recognise collaborative advantage • Build on good practice already in the city • Gain “ownership” and win hearts and minds • Engage the communities especially parents/carers and children and young people • Link the framework with strategic development of schools for the future • Live with uncertainty and evolve the future

  9. The journey so far …. • Locality data and needs analysis • Locality drop-ins • North West, South West and South East have locality boards • Locality Co-ordinator • DCSF bid for capital funds • Services organised by locality • Adopted by LSP for city

  10. As we develop we need parents to be alongside us "We want services for families to be more easily accessible/closer to where they live. From a parents perspective what would help us to achieve that?"
