What's this about?

This is about everyone in the workforce behaving in ways that help outcomes improve quickly.

What does an integrated and high-quality approach look like?

All staff feel part of the “team around the child”. Lead professional roles are well developed, along with common induction and joint accountability. Everyone in the team is ambitious for all five of the Every Child Matters outcomes

What does a fragmented approach look like?

Workforce feels limited in what it can achieve. People deal only with their area of expertise and do not address other issues that impact on children’s success. There is a lack of ambition both for staff themselves, their services and the children and young people they serve

  • Service
