Safeguarding Improvement Programme 2009
The vision for Safeguarding IN Salford:
‘To provide a range of modern, multi-agency support and protection services that are easily understood by all agencies and the general public, are accessible and that most importantly achieve positive outcomes for all children and families who need to use them’
Integrated working in localities
Objective:
To create accessible integrated services for children, young people and families that are located within their communities; that link seamlessly with universal services where additional need is identified, and also with specialist services delivered on a city wide basis.
Key components:
•Improved model of seamless services for integrated delivery;•Clearly defined operational policies and procedures;•Robust inter-agency governance and accountability;•Appropriately resourced and skilled workforce;•Appropriate facilities to house integrated services in suitable locations;•Robust performance management systems with clear lines of accountability;•Marketing and communications plan.
Key principles behind the model
A system that:
• Keeps children safe• Maintains or improves upon current key performance indicators • Delivers a single business process• Delivers consistency across the teams• Accommodates new designation of worker (Think Family, BEST,
BIT, Sure Start)• Supports a one door approach to service delivery• Augments the CAF and FAM process and the requirements of
NAF • Delivers best practice and outcomes for children and families.

‘To be’ model-work in progress• Services consulted and work underway to integrate into locality teams;• New management structures being defined;• Integrated Governance and Accountability systems being developed at
operational and strategic levels (neighbourhood, locality and citywide);• S17 Child In Need work being undertaken within locality teams by
qualified social workers;• Procedures in place to support workflow between universal services,
s.17/D&I, Courts Child Protection, other specialist services and locality teams (based on continuum of need);
• Performance management processes in place and developing to support work of locality teams (measuring output and outcome);
• Appropriate accommodation identified for 3 teams-4th in progress;• Workforce review underway.
Risks • Identifying long term suitable accommodation;
• Maintaining communication and keeping staff informed across the directorate of developments;
• Maintaining current performance under Carefirst/Integrated Children’s System;
• Resistance to change;
• Size and complexity of the change;
• Duplication of services where there is geographical overlap;
• Services provided by range of neighbourhood settings may be duplicated, conflicting or missing opportunities for collaborative working;
• Information sharing between services in Locality Teams may not be possible due to data protection issues and access to systems that support services;
Integrated ProcessesProject objectives:• To put in place all necessary systems and technology to support
the effective and efficient operation of the CAF process • To implement any outstanding ICS 1a and 1b requirements and
ICS 1c requirements• Conduct a thorough appraisal of our ICS implementation to date
and implement any potential improvements identified
Will lead to:• Ease of access to services through CAF• Co-ordination of services & partnership with families through FAM• Early identification of children in need, quick access to support• Early identification of children who can’t be supported at home
and need protection intervention
