Raising Educational Outcomes FurtherRaising Educational Outcomes Further

Because - too many pupils still reach the end of KS4:

• before their special needs have been addressed in full

• with a very poor attendance record

• known to the youth justice system

• having missed learning through exclusions

• In need of significant support from specialist services

• having underachieved, especially if from a minority ethnic community

www.hertsdirect.org

• Multi-agency teams locally based within district boundaries

• Schools deciding whether or not to work in partnerships

• LA responding tolocal school groupings

• Funding devolved to schools- bought back or not

Targeted Services - School PartnershipsTargeted Services - School Partnerships

www.hertsdirect.org

• LA needs to ensure statutoryrequirements are met in full

• A community of schoolsdespite their diverse nature

• Transparent and fair distribution of resources

• Avoid forcing some schools to collaborate reluctantly

• Very difficult change for CSF based services- a significant change in culture

SAFEGUARDING BOARD

(Review March 2012)

www.hertsdirect.org

Health and Wellbeing Board

The Health and Social Care Bill will require a health and wellbeing board in every upper tier local authority.

Health and wellbeing boards will include elected representatives, local HealthWatch and key local commissioners for health and social care, including GP consortia and DsPH, adult social care and children’s services.

Obligation for LA’s and GP consortia through health and wellbeing board to prepare the joint strategic needs assessment (JSNA) and develop a high-level "joint health and wellbeingstrategy" (JHWS) that spans the NHS, social care, public health and could potentially consider wider health determinants such as housing, or education.

Flexibility for health and wellbeing boards both between and within local authority areas. Some GP consortia boundaries may be coterminous with local authority areas, but others will not. “Whatever makes sense locally”.

Health and wellbeing boards will provide a key forum for public accountability of NHS, public health, social care for adults and children and other commissioned services that are directly related to health and wellbeing.
