Decision details

Early Help Family Support Strategic Plan

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Decisions:

The Cabinet considered a report of the Corporate Director for People presenting the Early Help Family Support Strategic Plan 2016 and accompanying action plan.

 

Resolved:

 

That the Strategic Plan and action plan as set out at Appendices 1 and 2 to the submitted report, be approved.

 

Reason for Decision

 

1.    The Plan requires the support to children and families to address their needs at the lowest possible level, to prevent their needs escalating and to not refer to services at a higher level until everything is done to meet such needs at a lower level.

 

2.    The plan gives a clear focus and enables resources to be directed at those actions that will make the biggest improvement in outcomes for children, young people and their families.

 

3.    It will enable the focus of work to move into Phase 2 of the Early Help Refresh and provide a base from which much wider integration with partners can be established, beyond the new ‘core’ EHFS service, and alignment with other key transformation programmes.

 

Other Options
