Welcome to this years roadshows.
We are building on the success and feedback of last years shows where over 600 professionals attended.
This year the theme is Munro and the Child’s Journey.

2. Our challenge 3 Years ago not protecting CYP well
We are sustaining improvements with hard work from GSCB, and all agencies
Are we as confident about early intervention?
And what about permanence?

3. The Munro Report – Key recommendations:
No 2 – The inspection framework should examine the effectiveness of the contribution of all local services to the protection of children and young people.
No10 -The government should place a statutory duty on LA’s and statutory partners to ensure the sufficient provision of local early help.

7. Early Help/Early Intervention
How do we define what this means?
How will funding, policy changes and reforms in services affect what we can offer?
What makes a difference for families? How do work together?
How do we learn from best practice?
