Capita Strategic Children's Services
Assignment
Interim post in the Secondary School improvement team.
Client Issue
The newly established directorate of Children’s services and the children and young people’s plan had led to the realignment of key posts and movement of services to different divisions in the directorate.
The imminence of the JAR and the need to plan for BSF had started to place extra demands on the service
Children’ s Services and the accountability through the APA and the JAR had not been fully understood in schools or in the service
Project details

Provide weekly briefings for the staff newsletter.
Brief service staff at key meetings

Outcomes
Work of Core services is appropriately integrated with the rest of Children’s Services
Case studies are written to a common format and provide an evidence base for the JAR and other purposes (reports/bids)
Data is better used and understood and the APA/JAR is used to inform planning
The service plan is securely linked to the CYPP
