Save Integrated strategy
- Joint assessment of local needs involving children, young people and parents.
- Single plan shared between all children's services reflecting national and local priorities for improved outcomes.
- Pooling of budgets to support joint commissioning of services.
- New Joint Area Reviews (JARs) to inspect local children's services.
- The delivery of integrated frontline services to improve outcomes for children and young people will need support at a strategic level.
The development of children's trusts will involve a joint needs analysis and prioritisation involving children, young people and parents, leading to joint planning and commissioning of effective child-centred services from a range of providers supported by the pooling of budgets and resources where appropriate.
The new Three-Year Children and Young People's Plan (CYPP), which LAs have been required to produce from April 2006, will be a single plan shared between all children's services, reflecting national and local priorities for improving outcomes for children and young people.
All this will be underpinned by new integrated inspection arrangements and, specifically, the introduction of JARs of local children's services from September 2005.
The annual improvement cycle for local areas brings together the assessment of needs, discussion of priorities with central Government, development and agreement of the CYPP, arrangements for integrated inspection and assessment, and additional support with intervention where necessary.
