The Review
The review will be carried out in three phases:
Scoping
Exercise
Agreement of a
Regional Model
Implementation
Full involvement of all stakeholders from the
outset is essential for the success of this project.
Phase 1
•
Engagement and collaborative/partnership working
with all key stakeholders
•
Baseline of current arrangements
•
Identification of common themes
•
Phase 1 ends with agreeing recommendations for
further action.
Indicative Timescale:
Phase 1 - March 2014
The first phase will impact on the
timescales of the second and third phases.
Phase 2
•
Partnership/Collaboration and
engagement with all key stakeholders
•
Recommendations from phase one
•
Secure agreement of a regional model in
consultation with key stakeholders
Phase 3
•
Work in partnership and collaboration with
all key stakeholders
•
Implement the agreed regional model on an
incremental basis.
Finally…
…constantly asking ourselves what difference
we are making to children and young people
will keep us focused on the ultimate aim of the
project – Putting Children First.
