3. Where we were … Services were organised along separate specialist lines. Duplication or lack of clarity in work with families. Some gaps in provision, or families not meeting the thresholds of services Teams not knowing about each other’s areas of work

5. DfE Innovation Bid Funding £3.02m over 18 months to fund the development of what has become Stockport Family initially- Additional social workers and managers to reduce social work caseloads Link social workers to partners in localities to better support early intervention Establish whole workforce training around Restorative Approaches

6. Stockport Family – An Overview The aim is to establish a single, fully integrated Stockport Family Service that provides the highest support to Stockport’s vulnerable children and families which best utilises reduced total resource The Service focusses on the family as a whole The new Stockport Family Workforce will use restorative approaches with families, schools and other services

7. What impact will this have…? …and how will we measure progress? What impact will this have…? …and how will we measure progress? What are the consequences? Better use of front-line time Better family perception of front-line services Improved staff morale Fewer family breakdowns Better health outcomes for children Better educational outcomes for children Reduced crime and anti-social behaviour Better value for money for taxpayers Reduced traffic of cases between services More long lasting solutions for families Higher family satisfaction Higher staff satisfaction Families tell their stories fewer times More time spent with families What changes will we make? Stockport Family will align a full range of children, family and community health services in each locality Restorative practice at the heart of our approach to working with children and families, underpinned by multi-disciplinary training programmes Culture shift across the workforce to increase focus on the needs of families Services co-designed and co- developed with practitioners and service users Where are we now? There are good relationships across stakeholders (social care, health, police, education) but services that each offer to families are not integrated, resulting in inadequate risk assessments and partial solutions Services are driven by thresholds rather than the needs of families Front-line workers spend too little time working with families due to bureaucratic procedures and fragmented services Stockport Family – Theory of Change The best front-line workers are promoted away from practice as career pathways are limited Reduced staff turnover Fewer re- referrals Shared outcome measures across partner agencies to ensure alignment of goals Resource shifted from crisis intervention to early intervention Fewer looked after children Reduced court costs Reduced placement costs Fewer entries to care

8. Locality Working The proposal is to have an integrated delivery model based around the four locality areas- Heatons and Tame Valley (Heatons, Reddish, Brinnington), Stepping Hill and Victoria (Offerton, Stepping Hill, Hazel Grove, Edgeley, Davenport, Manor), Bramhall and Cheadle ( Cheadle Gatley, Cheadle Hulme, Bramhall, Heald Green) and Marple Werneth (Bredbury, Woodley, Romiley, Marple). Each locality would comprise of teams including : Social Workers, Midwives, Health Visitors, School Nurses, Children’s Centres and the new role of Stockport Family Workers.

10. Working in Partnership with Schools All schools within the localities will have a named Stockport Family Worker and a named Social Worker. Schools will have increased confidence in responsiveness for consultation, advice, support and decision making, helping to reduce the reactive nature of some of the referral activity and to enable conversations to take place to improve outcomes without the necessity of an escalation via a referral There is an expectation in the proposed model that schools will work more closely and in partnership with other services on the early identification of issues including attendance

11. “Call In” The model will enable the ‘call in’ of more specialist interventions at the right time, to address need as it arises in a sequenced, appropriate and effective way Underpinning the locality teams will be a number of functions/interventions that can be ‘called in’ by services and families when needed

13. Restorative Approaches We intend to move from a traditional family support system where professionals decide what families need and deliver services to or for them We intend to move to a system where an integrated workforce works with struggling families, offering coaching and development interventions, to help families to build on their strengths and resources and to gain appropriate support from universal services and their community

14. The Stockport Family approach Locality working Social workers linked to schools Workforce development Restorative approach Joint working across teams & services Shared outcomes framework
