Indicators of a Schools Contribution to Wellbeing
As signalled in the Children’s Plan and in the well-being guidance, the DCSF and Ofsted have been working to develop strong school-level indicators of pupils’ well-being and have now launched a consultation paper with proposals about those indicators. To access the paper and details of how to respond, please go to http://www.ofsted.gov.uk/Ofsted-home/Consultations. Responses are requested by 16 January 2009.

The children and young people’s workforce strategy sets out a vision for 2020 in which everyone who works with children and young people is: ambitious for every child and young person, excellent in their practice, committed to partnership and integrated working, and respected and valued as professionals.
The Government’s ambition is that all children and young people should achieve their full potential across all the Every Child Matters outcomes: staying safe; being healthy; enjoying and achieving; making a positive contribution and achieving economic wellbeing. The quality and capacity of the children and young people’s workforce are critical to making a reality of those ambitions.
The strategy describes how Government will work with partners to ensure that everyone in the workforce receives the support and development they need to achieve this vision. And it identifies reforms which need to have impact across the whole of the children and young people’s workforce as well as priorities for development in each part of it.
We would like to hear your views about the vision and priorities for addressing issues that affect the whole workforce.
Launch Date:

One year ago, we set out in The Children’s Plan our ambition to make England the best place in the world for children and young people to grow up. World-class schools and world-class standards are central to achieving this vision. It is because every child deserves a great education that we are taking the next steps to making it a reality. We have now produced two linked documents that set out further information and invite feedback. The first describes how the entire school system will need to change, and how individual schools will need to look beyond traditional boundaries, be outwards facing and work in close partnership with young people, parents, other schools, colleges, universities and with other children's services. Views are sought on how we can best achieve this. The second document is about School Report Cards, and seeks input on the principles that should govern the report cards.

This guidance has been updated - following consultation, it will replace the 2005 publication "Statutory guidance on the roles and responsibilities of the Director of Children’s Services and Lead Member for Children’s Services". The guidance aims to explain how the roles of the LM and DCS are distinct and complementary - and how working together as a team, they can be most effective in driving clear improvements in outcomes for children and young people.
Launch Date:
18 Nov 2008
Closing Date: 10 Feb 2009
