CYP&F Underpinning Principles• Reviewing statutory responsibilities; and how we could
meet them differently.• Removal of ring fences and grant reduction means not a
salami slice approach, but total service redesign with built in flexibility to adapt to the shifting landscape.
• Prioritising support to our most vulnerable children. • Multi-disciplinary: multi-agency, partners and community
working together, sharing assets and forming more integrated teams.
• Investing in early intervention and prevention.• Assessing impact on equalities.• Avoiding unintended consequences.• Using evidence to invest wisely.

Our Early Intervention Proposal• Join separate services currently working and
contributing to intervene where children and their families need additional support, eliminating duplication
• Create one new simpler, streamlined cost effective multi-disciplinary and multi-agency Early Intervention Service.
• Deliver the new service locally using 7 existing young people’s centre premises as hubs – (capable of still delivering youth work in evenings, weekends and school holidays)

22
New Look Countywide Information Advice & Guidance (currently provided by Connexions pending all age careers service)
• Schools and College resource allocation to continue for Information, Advice and Guidance and statutory LDD assessments as before but more focus on vulnerable groups, IAG workers to be based on school/college sites - using current provider for 1 further year.
• Very small central integrated management team overseeing; commissioning, and contract monitoring, single interactive web site, performance, management information, youth QA and development, co-ordination SEN/NEET.
• One city centre client facing centre – Gloucester Green • Workers in the hubs focussing on NEET case work, vulnerable
groups and Post-16 NEET
23
Youth Offending Service
• A centrally managed resource will remain to deliver statutory court work, ISS (Intensive supervision and surveillance), MAPPA (Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements), resettlement etc.
• All YOS prevention resources will be allocated to become part of the new early intervention teams in the hubs. Children and young people at risk of offending will be supported through the hubs. The FIP (Family Intervention Project) will be delivered and managed through the hubs. Current resource will move to hubs from YOS budgets
24
Inclusion Access & Engagement (IAE)
• Much reduced central team carrying out only statutory functions, commissioning and data analysis re EPS, PRU (short stay school), Alternative Provision, Attendance, EHE, Social Inclusion Officers
• EP team will be attached to SEN team to carry out statutory assessments (as well as advice and guidance in relation to SEN) as required; any discretionary advisory work will need to be charged for
• All teams will contribute resource to teams running early intervention from hubs – one EP attached to each hub
• Buy Back services developed for schools that wish to have more resource offering specialist services to support behaviour
25
Children’s Centres, Parenting and Childcare• Significant reductions in central management and
development stage functions; removing duplication• Reduction in passported grants. The effect will be felt by early
years providers rather than children's centres as they receive their funding through the funding formula. Early years providers include pre-schools, day nurseries, out of school childcare providers and childminders
• Children’s centres will provide a network of outreach bases as spokes from the 7 early intervention hubs
• Children’s centres will continue to provide a range of universal and targeted services in 2011-12
• During 2011 there will be a review of the impact of our children’s centres alongside and related to the development of the early intervention hubs This will include consultation with service users and key stakeholders.
26
Extended Services, locality work and play
• Home School Link workers and ESCOs will need to continue to play important role. Extended services funding is all passported to schools rather than being held and distributed by LA
• Other work will be delivered in conjunction with individual schools, school partnerships and children’s centres working closely with the hubs.
27
Education• Reduced funding• Diversity of provision and freedoms
– Free schools– Academies
• Pupil premium• Champion of vulnerable children• Behaviour and discipline• Raising age of participation• Accountability?• Market failure

CYP&F- Implications for the Voluntary Sector Autumn 2010
• Significant Challenges:– There will be increased demands on the VCS and less funding at the
disposal of the public sector.
– Many activities provided by VCS are funded by grants from CYP&F – future uncertain and when un-ring fenced competing priorities.
– Moving towards a greater commissioning approach, but will need to build in more flexibility to re-negotiate contracts.
– Need for greater identification of risk and management of risk.
• Opportunities:– The Government wants to build ‘Big Society’ and locally we have been
working on ideas for community self help.
– There will be greater opportunities for the Voluntary Sector to take centre stage in shaping the future.
– There will be a need for all partners to work more closely to make the most of combined resources.
34
Implications March 2011• Case work and working in partnership on direct provision
– Families and individuals– Mentoring, counselling, diversionary activity
• Future of services delivering youth work• Reviews over 11-12 with proposals to reshape for 12-13
– Children’s centres under review in preparation for re-shaping and re-commissioning
– Services supporting behaviour under review – potential commissioning approach. – Future commissioning models – Localism bill
• Sharing – Information sharing– Capacity building – infrastructure organisations – Big Society– sharing expertise and cross training
• Coordination– Volunteering– Big Society implications
• QA, evaluation, measuring progress
