One Vision
Our vision is for Leeds to be a child friendly city.  We will drive change by using restorative practice, cluster and locality working and by extending the voice and influence of children and young people. The child is at the centre of everything we do. 
Five outcomes
Conditions of well-being we want for all our children and young people
•All CYP are safe from harm
•All CYP do well at all levels of learning and have skills for life
•All CYP enjoy healthy lifestyles
•All CYP have fun growing up
•All CYP are active citizens who feel they have a voice and influence
3 obsessions
Safely and appropriately reduce the number of Children Looked After
Reduce the number of young people not in education, employment and training
Improve school attendance
Three behaviours that underpin everything
Listening & responding to the voice of the child
Restorative Practice: doing with, not for or to
Outcomes based accountability: is anyone better off?

4. a new social contract
Cross-party political support to implement an entitlement whereby:
The default behaviour of children’s services in all its dealings with local citizens/partners and organisations will be restorative - high support with high challenge
Children’s Services in Leeds will ensure that families, whose children might otherwise be removed from their homes, are supported to meet and develop an alternative plan before such action is taken
In all other cases where there are concerns about the safeguarding or welfare of a child or children, we will work safely and appropriately with the family to support them in helping to decide what needs to happen
Opportunity to implement through the innovation fund

5. Targeted Services / Clusters
“there are extensive early and targeted help services available to families at the first emergence of a problem, delivered by knowledgeable, confident and well-trained practitioners…… …..A well-coordinated locality and cluster approach results in early identification and extensive work with families according to need.” OFSTED 2015
