I’ve been invited speak at what is described as an interactive seminar entitled Measuring Outcomes for Children’s Services in Scotland – (I’m a late replacement so my name doesn’t appear in the programme)
The blurb reads as follows:
This seminar addresses the key issues facing performance management within children’s services including:
- Making the transition from measuring services on outputs to outcomes
- Preparing for joint inspections
- Measuring outcomes across partnerships with the new focus on integrated working
- Providing evidence on ‘soft outcomes’
- Building the capacity, skills and knowledge of your staff to carry out outcomes based planning and reporting
My brief is as follows:
- Moving to Outcome Based Assessed Children’s Services
- Understanding the Government’s purpose, strategic objectives, national outcomes, national indicators, and their implications for children’s services and delivery partners
- Identifying the key issues for children, young people and families and uses of social care within the National Performance Framework
- SOAs and the impact on planning, delivering and evaluating an outcome based approach in children’s services
