Key principles
Leadership for a shared outcome focus across services requires ownership and advocacy across partners to realise our shared vision for improving outcomes for children and young people in South Gloucestershire.
Key elements of the approach are:
• Robust joint needs assessment
• Shrewd identification of outcomes to improve
• A focus on outcomes not output measures
• Incorporating the views of children, young people parents and carers
• An explicit equalities dimension
• An enthusiastic drive for preventative and capacity building approaches
• Engagement of a cross agency mix which is most likely to impact on targeted outcomes
• Using what works and understanding what could be done better together, enabling innovative practice and ceasing what isn’t working
• Action plans which relate to objectives in performance management
• Links to workforce development
• Evaluation which recognises contributions
• Shared accountability
