Highlight key aspects of the SEND reforms Look at some key opportunities for short breaks services Outline the CDC role on short breaks This presentation will ;

Children, young people and parents at the centre of decision making Supporting children, young people and parents to participate A focus on achieving the best possible outcomes The Children and Families Act-Driving cultural change

Building on key elements of practice The Act reinforces parental participation and expands and extends on the key engagement of Children and Young people So……. Are you already working with your local Parent Carer Forum ? Do they understand your short breaks offer? Do you know how children and young people are engaged directly locally ? Do you have a direct input to this ?

Education, training and social care provision to be kept under review Promoting integration and joint commissioning arrangements Cooperation across services and institutions Joint working across agencies

Using Wider Changes The Act introduces a new joint commissioning arrangement building on the system So ……………. Can you locate your JSNA What does it say about the children you serve Have you additional evidence you can add ? Do you know who commissions your local health services? Are you aware of your local Health Watch ?

Information on education, health and care a local authority expects to be available Children, young people and parents/carers must be involved Review and revise commissioning in light of comments received on the local offer Local offer

Taking up the Opportunities the Act presents Local Offer Direct link with short breaks duty, are you confident link is there and What else is in the local offer that supports your short break practice? Don’t forget links with the eligibility criteria etc How will you influence change ?

Duty on local authorities to provide information, advice and support Should be jointly commissioned and cover education, health and social care Services extended to disabled children and young people and those with SEN Information and advice

To be drawn up within 20 weeks Person centred with a focus on outcomes Include education, health and social care Extend beyond school, potentially up to 25 Personal budgets included EHC plans - key features

Taking up the Opportunities the Act presents Personal Budgets How does this build on the work you are already doing How can you use your knowledge base as an opportunity to support implementation

Duty to secure the education and health provision specified in an EHC plan Stronger duties in relation to social care Must include particular sections (see Code) but no national template Content of EHC plans

On behalf of DFE, CDC working with ADCS, LGA and local authorities to develop a Practical Implementation Toolkit for Social Care Currently in development Builds on best practice already in place Links requirements of Children and Families Act with Working Together Will be updated as case law changes Supporting Implementation
