  24. Modernising the curriculum • a very well-understood view of how to help an individual become as self-reliant and as independent as possible • the ambitions expressed by the young people were taken into account when devising the curriculum and support.

  25. Schools more accountable to their communities

  26. The Importance of Teaching: Schools White Paper ‘Devolve as much power as possible to the front line, while retaining high levels of accountability’ Add presentation title to master slide | 26

  27. Evaluation • Over half the providers and local authorities visited placed little emphasis on improvements in progress or other outcomes, including destinations, as a measure of the effectiveness or the quality of provision • A fifth of the providers visited were unable to provide any evaluation of participation in other activities Add presentation title to master slide | 27

  28. Encouraging professional collaboration

  29. Why rethink, redesign, restructure? • Fitness for purpose – is your organisation still relevant in its current form? • Does it meet the desired outcomes? • Are the desired outcomes the right ones? • Is it sufficiently aspirational? • Is it sufficiently influential? • Is it relevant to the 21st century?
