Gloucestershire Performance Snapshot

• Demand on Gloucestershire’s Children Social Care service has been increasing.
• Our Children in Need population broadly static, children subject to a protection

plan has increased markedly and children in care population slightly higher than comparators but lower than Eng. overall.

• A high proportion of children on plans or in our care (96% Aug-19) are seen

regularly and we are in touch with all of our care leavers (100% Aug-19). We continue to target speed of seeing children following referral.

• A high number of children who need our help, protection or care more than once.
• The majority of children in care are seen, assessed and reviewed in a timely way.
• A significant % of social care activity does not progress.
• We do not speak to enough of the children in Gloucestershire who have been

missing following a missing episode .

• The majority of our children in Early Years/Primary and Secondary attend Good or

Outstanding settings/schools.

• Teenage Pregnancy is better than England average
• Proportion of children achieving a good level of development at the end of

Reception – marginally above England average.

• KS2 Attainment – improved but marginally below national
• KS4 Attainment 8 score above England average.

Context

• No longer a statutory requirement to have a Children’s Plan or

Partnership.

• Residual duty placed on LA to co-ordinate local activity to promote

the wellbeing of children and young people.

• Previous plan ended 2018.
• Statutory responsibilities of DCS and Lead Member for Children.
• Activity falls within purview of Health and Wellbeing Board.
• Safeguarding Children Executive – efficacy of collective

arrangements to safeguard children.

• Children’s Partnership or Steering Group – the commissioning,

delivery and impact of services for children and young people

Six principles to shape our thinking

(Public Health England, 2015)

Key Questions

• What are the arguments for and against having

a plan/vision and what challenges do we need to overcome in developing an authentic and compelling vision ?

• What are our defining values and principles that

will underpin the formulation and realisation of that vision ?

• What should be our key priorities or

preoccupations within that vision ?
