HOW WILL WE KNOW WE HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE?

Developments since the national strategy was published

• Updating basket of needs indicators to align to the indicators published in the national strategy. Reflects the fact that some data is no longer available and there will be new data sources – to be published soon on the Communities of Practice: www.communities.idea.gov.uk/reg/sp.do

• DfE held a consultation on the revised Early Years Foundation Stage• There are clear overlaps with the Social Mobility Strategy so a joint

approach to reporting against these indicators is suggested• The 2009/10 data on family resources, including a new severe poverty

measure, was published (the HBAI series)• Local (proxy) child poverty data for 2009 and 2010 and the revised child

poverty data for 2009 were published• Child Poverty Unit will be producing analytical updates that will be sent

to the CP networks and posted on Communities of Practice
