Integration – Soup or Salad?
• Integrated working focuses on enabling and
encouraging professionals to work together
effectively to deliver frontline services.
• Improving outcomes for children and young
people involves changes to culture and practice
across the children's workforce.
• The Every Child Matters: Change for Children
programme sets out a model for change with
integration at every level. It also
sets out how services for children and young
people need to be coordinated and built around
their needs.

Integrated Processes
Integrated front line delivery
“The very essence of
leadership is that you have
to have a vision. It's got to
be a vision you articulate
clearly and forcefully on
every occasion.”

Integrated Processes
Integrated front line delivery
Rutland strategic and delivery partners recognise that
they cannot work alone in helping children and young
people to achieve their potential, and therefore have
agreed to work in partnership with other agencies that
have an interest in outcomes for children and young
people, and with the local community.
In doing so these services aim to help meet not only
the service provider’s objectives but also to share in
helping to meet the wider needs of children, young
people, families and their community.

What are we learning?
•
Finance is a great catalyst
•
Children’s centre and extended services as a
method for transforming local service delivery
•
School improvement or learning effectiveness.
Establishment or child centred?
•
Participation is a challenge for decision makers
•
Strategic sponsorship and local champions
•
Distributed leadership within a strategic
framework
•
Integration is an iterative process. We will never
be done!
•
Don’t line up your deckchairs differently – be
brave
•
If you want different outcomes develop different
services

The future is not some place we are going to, but
one we are creating. The paths are not to be
found, but made, and the activity of making them
changes both the maker and the destination.
