The cover analysis outlines ideas in the Pillars and Foundations paper, published by the Association of Directors of Children’s Services, that says the sector must embrace technology, joint working, self-care and volunteering if it is to improve outcomes for children and young people in the future.
The article speaks to the author of the report about the reasons why councils must think more innovatively about future solutions, and highlights where “next practice” is already taking shape.
Other analysis articles in 15 March edition of CYP Now magazine include a rundown of the key characteristics that will help youth groups be sustainable and successful in the future; how the role of teaching assistants should be changed to support the learning of all pupils, freeing up teachers to devote more time to help struggling children to improve attainment; and what key measures need to be taken to improve play services for disabled children.
Meanwhile, Carolyne Willow, director of children’s rights charity Article 39, talks about why the review of youth justice must lead to a more children-centred youth custody system being created.
The main feature looks at the challenge faced by councils and other agencies to ensure speech and language services are maintained and improved when many areas have experienced funding cuts. It showcases the work of a number of areas that are working together to achieve great results.
