2
What is Getting it right for every child ?
  • A national programme which is changing the way
    adults think and act in order to help all
    children and young people grow, develop and reach
    their full potential.
  • It is a long term change programme which ensures
    children and young people are at the centre of
    all activity about them and their lives.

3
Why ?
  • To improve outcomes for all children by helping
    practitioners and organisations working with
    children, young people and families to remove
    obstacles that can block childrens paths on
    their journey from birth to adulthood.

4
Key concepts
  • The key concept of Getting it right for every
    child is a common, coordinated approach across
    all agencies that supports the delivery of
    appropriate, proportionate and timely help to
    all children as they need it.

5
Key concepts cont..
  • A focus on improving outcomes for children and
    young people based on the elements of well-being
    for Scotlands children
  • An integral role for children, their families and
    those with a relevant interest in reaching the
    decisions that affect childrens lives
  • A strengthened role for universal services to
    address concerns themselves, where they can,
    without involvement of other agencies
  • A common approach to gaining consent and to
    sharing information where appropriate
  • A coordinated and unified approach to identifying
    concerns, actions and outcomes based on the
    shared vision for Scotlands children

6
Key concepts cont
  • Streamlined planning processes that lead to
    efficient provision of help for children
  • Consistent high standards of joint working and
    communication, across Scotland, where more than
    one agency needs to be involved
  • A lead professional to co-ordinate and monitor
    multi- agency activity where necessary
  • The capacity to share demographic, assessment,
    planning and outcome information electronically
    within and across agency boundaries

    maximise the unique contribution of each

Sharing Information
  • Critical to Getting it right for every child
  • Based on an informed consent model
  • Practitioners need to be confident about sharing
    information where appropriate or legally
    justifiable
  • Clear about the benefits for the child

21
Implementation national
  • The Scottish Government will support, facilitate
    and promote change at local level while leading
    on those areas that require a national solution
  • implement under existing legislation and consider
    future legislation
  • support rather than apply targets/ impose orders
  • Work with pathfinders and learning partners to
    develop practice tools and models that can be
    used nationally
  • focus on early intervention and on improving
    outcomes
  • promote learning and understanding
  • develop a national e-Care framework
  • promote information sharing based on an informed
    consent model
  • carry out robust evaluation

22
Implementation - local
  • Will take time, organic growth, need to manage
    change across culture, systems and practice to
  • think about all aspects of the childs needs in
    reaching their full potential
  • think about every adult in the childs network
    who can help
  • one plan (Childs Plan) based on Scottish
    assessment triangle and elements of SHANARI
  • share information based on an informed consent
    model
  • action that is appropriate, proportionate, timely

23
Draft Childrens Services (Scotland) Bill
  • Not progressing in this parliamentary year
  • Responses to the draft Bill consultation indicate
    more work needs to be done to resolve the complex
    issues affecting change across children's
    services
  • A number of agencies concerned about early
    legislation without further detailed
    implications for services
  • Further work in pathfinder areas and other
    development work throughout Scotland will help
    determine how best to improve any legislative
    changes
