Children’s Social Care and Early Help
have a transformation plan supported over four years by the Reform
Investment Fund with resources provided through the
government’s Troubled Families programme. This is part of a
wider Greater Manchester programme.
Part of the plan is the creation of an analytical team which
will:
•Further develop:
-the data hub (which brings together data about individuals and
families from different sources - such as social care, early help,
education, police and Department of Work and Pensions),
-the systems for routinely matching data and updating the
hub,
-systems which enable the operational use of the Hub by staff in
the Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) who need to gather
relevant information to inform service allocation decisions;
-the information governance arrangements which support the Hub and
wider information sharing around provision of safeguarding and
support;
•Undertake analysis of the impact of service interventions and
the different outcomes achieved for individuals and families;
•Co-ordinate this analysis with the wider programme of service
performance analysis undertaken by Business Intelligence for
Children’s Services;
•Undertake analysis of individuals and families to inform
development of systems for identifying at an early stage those
families whose children are at risk of experiencing escalating
problems in order to provide an evidence base to inform effective
early intervention.
The work of the Team will inform focused re-design of services and
pathways in order to support delivery of evidence based approaches
to early intervention which deliver better outcomes for residents
and reduce the need for the involvement of specialist services
– for example, helping over time to reduce numbers of looked
after children.
