Every Child in Norfolk Matters A Logical Framework for Change.

Every Child in Norfolk Matters

A Logical Framework for Change

• We believe all children and young people have the right to be:

- Healthy, happy and safe

- Loved, valued and respected

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


• All Norfolk’s citizens have responsibility in helping achieve this Vision for children; and


• 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


• 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

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


• 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


• 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


• 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

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


• 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


• 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


• 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


• In the next five years we will:– Improve support to parents so they can

better bring up their children


• 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


• 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


• 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


• 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

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

These five initiatives require integration and development of the infrastructure of children’s services

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

• Over the next five years our primary concern will be children’s outcomes:– That is measurable improvements in their well-

being and development

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


• 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


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

• 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


• 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


• 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

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

This strategy requires that we change our investments in children

• By changing our investments

Put simply, we think that:

• By changing our investments• To produce new initiatives for an

integrated children’s services


• 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


• 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


• Better outcomes for children

Put another way:

• Better outcomes for children• Will come from the development

and integration of children’s services

Put another way:

We are going to put children at the heart of our community and we are going to be driven in our decision making by outcomes for children.

We are going to develop the capacity of schools to support a broad spectrum of children’s development and so make schools the focus of their communities. FULL SCHOOLS



We are going to develop other children’s services so we have a

range of services proven to meet the needs of children

whose development is impaired. SERVICES NOT DEPARTMENTS
