The North West has received grant funding from the Department for Education (DfE) to deliver a Regional Improvement Plan Pilot (RIPP) as part of the Government's Care Reform agenda.
The RIPP is a new approach to Children’s Social Care improvement. It utilises a collaborative decision-making and delivery structure between DfE, the 24 NW local authorities (LA), NW Association of Directors of Childrens Services and multi-agency partners. The RIPP has three workstreams: Partnerships, Workforce and Sufficiency. Each workstream is led by a Director of Childrens Services in the region.
The Partnership workstream works across the 24 Safeguarding Partnership Arrangements in the North West. The ambition is to support local safeguarding partnerships to meet the requirements of Working Together 2023 and the National Framework for Children’s Social Care.
In the programme's first year, a regional thematic analysis of Multi-Agency Safeguarding Arrangements (MASAs) was conducted, involving engagement with 80% of the North West's Delegated and Lead Safeguarding Partners.
The thematic analysis identified the ambition to achieve the below through sub regional and regional approaches with the long-term vision for a self-improving partnership led system, co-produced by local leaders, focused on promoting whole systems thinking.
* Better share and build on multi-agency practice that is improving outcomes for children and families.
* Better enable the system to understand the effectiveness of multi-agency practice and to effectively drive a continuous learning culture.
* Better collaborate by facilitating spaces to understand local, sub regional and regional commonalities to agree priorities for practice collaboration.
A regional Strategic Partnership Conference co-produced the delivery model to achieve the above ambition, which will be the North West Multi Agency Safeguarding Learning and Support Hub. This role will sit in the hub alongside 4 new roles for a period of 12 months.
