What does your role involve? I'm employed by Leeds West Primary Care Trust to improve communication between partner organisations such as youth services and schools and help them work together in implementing the Children Act.
Do most children's trust areas have someone like you? West Leeds is the only one of the five areas of the city to have this role. I haven't heard of anyone doing this exact job, although I met someone doing something similar in Sheffield.
What's the main purpose of your role and why is it important? We're looking to implement the Common Assessment Framework in this area of Leeds. There has been initial planning for about a year across the city and then they decided to focus on one area of Leeds to pilot it. It's helpful for people to have someone to call if they don't understand what this is all about.
