The Children’s Act 1989 governs the service provided to children entering Social Care. The Act focus on safeguarding as well as promoting a child’s welfare.•Sect 17 (Child in Need)•Sect 47 (Child Protection Investigation / enquiry)•Sect 20 (Voluntary accommodation of a child) parental responsibility remains with the parents. •Sect 38 (Interim Care Order) Although a care order gives the local authority parental responsibility for the child, any person who is a parent or guardian also retains their parental responsibility and may continue to exercise it to the extent that their actions are not incompatible with the care order •Sect 31 (Care Order) As above•Secure Order•Emergency Protection Order - Children who are placed away from home under an emergency protection order, where they are accommodated by or on behalf of the local authority, are looked after children. So, too, are those children on remand to local authority accommodation or under supervision with a residence requirement requiring them to live in local authority accommodation and those children in police protection or arrested and at the police’s request accommodated by the local authority (section 21 of the 1989 Act)•Placement Order - AdoptionOther Orders:•Special Guardianship Order•Child Arrangement Order

A key principle of the 1989 Act is that children are best looked after within their families, with their parents playing a full part in their lives, unless compulsory intervention in family life is necessary. That principle is reflected in:

1. the concept of parental responsibility;2. the ability of unmarried fathers to share that responsibility by agreement

with the mother, by joint registration at birth or by court order;3. the local authority’s functions to provide services which support children

and their families;4. the local authority’s duty to return a looked after child to his/her family

unless this is against his/her interests; and5. the local authority’s duty, unless it is not reasonably practicable or consistent with his/her welfare, to endeavour to promote contact between a looked after child and his/her parents or others

A child is looked after by a local authority if s/he is in their care by reason of a care order or is being provided with accommodation under section 20 of the 1989 Act for more than 24 hours with the agreement of the parents, or of the child if s/he is aged 16 or over (section 22(1) and (2) of the 1989 Act).

• Looked after children deserve the best experiences in life!• Stable placements, good health and support during transition

are all essential elements, but children will only achieve their potential through the ambition and high expectation of all those involved in their lives.

• Section 22(3) of the 1989 Act to sets out how a Local authority is to safeguard and promote the welfare of the looked after child and to act as good corporate parents to enable each looked after child to achieve his/her full potential in life.

Good social care practice recognises the following principles when working with children and their families:

•Time is a crucial element in work with children and should be reckoned in days and months rather than years.

•Parents should be expected and enabled to retain their responsibilities and to remain as closely involved as is consistent with their child’s welfare, even if that child cannot live at home either temporarily or permanently.•If children have to live apart from their family, both they and their parents should be given adequate information and helped to consider alternatives and contribute to the making of an informed choice about the most appropriate form of care.

•Continuity of relationships is important and attachments should be respected, sustained and developed.

•A change of home, carer, social worker or school almost always carries some risk to a child’s development and welfare.•These principles reflect the intention in the 1989 Act, that parents should be encouraged to exercise their responsibility for their child’s welfare in a constructive way.

The child’s care plan provides the overarching vehicle for bringing together information from the assessment across the seven dimensions of the child’s developmental needs and from any other assessments of the child and his/her family. The health and education dimensions of the care plan are populated by the health plan and the personal education plan .

Care planning is a core element of the assessment, planning, intervention and review cycle which underpins social work with children and families. The primary focus of the legislation about children in need, which includes children looked after by the local authority, is how well they are progressing and whether their health or development will be impaired without the provision of services by the authority. The cycle of assessment, planning, intervention and review must therefore focus on the child’s developmental progress, including his/her health, and the desired outcomes for the child, taking account of the wide range of influences which affect a child’s development both positively and negatively.

The IRO appointed for the child is responsible for monitoring the performance of the responsible authority functions in relation to the child’s case. The intention is to enable the IRO to have an effective and independent oversight of the child’s case to ensure that the care plan represents an effective response to the assessed needs of the child and that progress is being made towards achieving the identified outcomes.

9th November 2015

Young Offenders with special educational needs: a new legal framework

• Children and Families Act 2014• April 2015 – new duties

– New requirements for young people with SEN when they are detained in youth custody

– Incomplete– New regulation and guidance still to come– Links to Equality Act 2010, Crime and Disorder Act

1998, Health and Social Care Act 2012.– Joint commissioning of services for young people with

SEND.

What MUST we do

• Keep an EHCP while the young person is detained, it must not cease.

• Maintain and review the EHCP when the young person is released

• Arrange appropriate special educational provision for the young person whilst they are detained

• If health care provision is identified the health services commissioner must arrange appropriate provision.

Practicalities• If it is not practical?• Needs to correspond as closely as possible to

that in the EHCP.• The local authority must arrange appropriate

provision• The health care commissioner must arrange

appropriate provision.• LA should consider whether any social care needs

remain eg. For children in care, existing relationship with social worker should continue

SEN but no EHCP?

• Person in charge can request an assessment of post-detention EHC needs

• Appeal to First-tier Tribunal• YOTs and education provider has a right to

bring young person to the attention of LA.• LA must consider whether an assessment of

post-detention EHC needs is necessary

Joint Working

• YOTs and those in charge of youth accomodation must co-operate with the LA

• And, have regard to the code of practice• YOT must notify LA when a child or young

person is detained• If they have an EHCP the LA must send it to

the YOT, person in charge and health commissioner within 5 days of detention.

Information Sharing

• If young person is known by local authority, all available information with regard to their special educational needs should be shared with YOT.

• YOT will share information with custodial case manager

• The court may ask for sight of EHCP, should be included in pre-sentence report if relevant

Education for Young people in custody

• LA must promote fulfilment of learning potential, with or without EHCP

• YOT will be key point of contact between LA and youth accomodation

• LA must review the EHCP as soon as possible after release

Regional support

• The Council for Disabled children with the National Development Team for Inclusion are planning regional events aimed at Youth Offending Teams.

• South West event - date

Autumn workshops, 2015

Introduction

The Department for Education has asked Ofsted and the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to inspect local areas on their effectiveness in fulfilling their new duties.

The framework for this new inspection is currently being developed and Ofsted and CQC are currently speaking with a wide range of stakeholders. We are keen to gather the views of parents and carers.

The following description of the inspection has not been finalised.

There will be a formal consultation about aspects of the inspection soon.

Successful implementation of the reforms

The reforms include many structural changes, including

special educational needs (SEN) support

a requirement for local authorities and their health partners to jointly plan and commission education, health and care services

education, health and care needs assessments and plans personal budget

responsibility for young adults up to 25 years old where they remain in further education or training

the publication of a local offer in each area.


In order to achieve these local areas must work in partnership with these children and young people, and their parents and carers to understand their needs so that outcomes can improve.

Early years providers, schools and colleges must also work in partnership with the local authority and social care and health services to identify and meet these needs effectively.

Education, health and social care services must work closely together to jointly commission the support and services their children and young people require, including where these are not located in the same area.


Focusing on the needs of children and young people who have an education, health and care plan cannot be at the expense of providing for those others who require support but who do not need a plan.

Early intervention and timely support can prevent some children and young people from needing an education, health and care plan at a later stage.

Each local authority must set out the support it expects to be available in its local offer and ensure that this information is accessible. The local offer needs to be well communicated to relevant parties and properly understood.


Above all, local areas must know whether their provision is improving outcomes for children young people or not. They must agree aspirational yet realistic targets for young people and monitor their progress towards achieving them. The setting and reviewing of goals or targets must involve children and young people and their parents and carers.


The local authorities surveyed had, overall, made a good start in getting ready to implement the reforms.

Most were prepared for the transition to education, health and care plans as required and had worked with healthcare partners to jointly commission services to meet the area’s needs.

All of the areas surveyed understood the importance of effective early intervention.

Almost all of the local authorities surveyed were confident that they would have the key aspects of the reforms in place by September 2014.


Most had appointed senior managers to oversee implementation. They had generally engaged well with their partners, especially with representatives of parents and carers.

The local authorities recognised that the effective implementation of the reforms will take time.

Many, but not all, set out a process of ongoing review and improvement based on rigorous and regular evaluation, the identification of the most effective practice and feedback about things that had been less successful.


However, some important aspects of the reforms were, at the time of the survey, insufficiently, or only partly, developed, namely:

the participation of children and young people and their parents and carers in decision making about local provision

the effectiveness of communication with partners about the reforms

identifying and meeting social care and health needs


monitoring the identification of special educational needs

consistency of agreements with education providers about their contribution to the local offer

monitoring of the impact of early intervention

a lack of shared understanding of what constituted ‘good progress’ for the lowest attaining children and young people and for personal and social skills development


a lack of focus on achieving good outcomes in health and social care

the development of personal budgets

transition to adult social care and health services and where young people receive services from different local areas

joint commissioning arrangements.

Proposed focus for inspection

How effectively does the local area identify children and young people who are disabled and/or have special educational needs?

How effectively does the local area meet the needs and improve the outcomes of children and young people who are disabled and/or have special educational needs?

These judgements are to be made about the performance of the local area since the implementation of the reforms in September 2014.

It is important to note that this is local area inspection and not a local authority inspection.

Effective identification of need

The evaluation includes children and young people who require SEN support and those who have education, health and care plans.

Timeliness

Usefulness (to inform planning/teaching/other provision; and as a baseline to set targets for progress/improvement, and evaluate the effectiveness of support)

Engagement with children and young people (participation and communication)

Engagement with parents/carers (participation and communication)

Effectiveness of involvement and communication with others, as appropriate

Effectiveness of local area arrangements in providing evidence that needs have been identified

Effective identification of need How would your area demonstrate it effectively identifies disabled children ands young people and those who have special educational needs?

Would this information identify areas of strength, where further improvements need to be made and where the situation is improving or deteriorating? And across education, social care and health needs?

Is there information that is available but not currently used that would contribute to your self-evaluation?

Is there information that is not currently available that would be valuable?

Is the information sufficiently specific to allow consideration of different groups of children and young people, and their services and providers?

Does your information show convincingly that children and young people, and their parents and carers are properly involved in identification? And are satisfied with their experience?

Effectiveness in meeting needs

The evaluation includes those children and young people who require SEN support and those who have education, health and care plans.

Satisfaction by children and young people in the progress they have made

Satisfaction by parents/carers in the progress made.

Outcomes for children and young people - progress made, towards high expectation targets (towards age expectations for skills/knowledge/understanding, and preparing for adulthood to include progress to higher education or employment, independent living, participating in society, being as healthy as possible in adult life)

Effectiveness of local area arrangements in providing evidence that needs have been met (as above)

Effectiveness in meeting needsHow would your area demonstrate it effectively meets the needs of disabled children ands young people and those who have special educational needs and improves their outcomes?

progress made, towards high expectation targets progress to higher education or employment independent living participating in society being as healthy as possible in adult life

Would this information identify areas of strength, where further improvements need to be made and where the situation is improving or deteriorating? And across education, social care and health needs?

Is there information that is available but not currently used that would contribute to your self-evaluation?

Is there information that is not currently available that would be valuable?

Effectiveness in meeting needsIs the information sufficiently specific to allow consideration for different groups of children and young people?

Does your information show convincingly that children and young people, and their parents and carers are satisfied with the outcomes?

Does the information demonstrate convincingly that children and young people, and their parents and carers are properly involved in the area’s strategy for meeting needs, and in reviewing its effectiveness?

Proposed inspection arrangements

All local areas will be inspected, with an inspection interval of up to five years.

Inspection teams will include a HMI, a CQC inspector and a local authority inspector.

Inspectors will review available national data as part of their preparation, including within area inspection outcomes from CQC and Ofsted.

It is expected that local areas will know how effective they are and will be able to demonstrate this.


The field work is likely to include discussions with elected members, key local area officers from health, education and social care, and meetings with leaders of early year settings, schools and colleges, and specialist services.

Visits will be made to a range of providers and services. These visits will not inspect the provision but focus on their understanding and participation in meeting the area’s responsibilities.

Inspectors will look at children and young people’s files to contribute to their evaluations.


There will be a strong emphasis on gathering the views of young people, and parents and carers, involving:

Meetings during visits to early years settings, schools and colleges.

Meeting with established parent and carer groups

Meeting with any reference groups established by the local area.

A webinar for parents and carers during the inspection.


There will be a narrative evaluation report following the inspection. There will not be an overall effectiveness grade.

Local areas will need to produce an action plan

There will be follow-up inspection activity where this is appropriate.

As appropriate, the findings of the area inspection will contribute to other CQC and Ofsted inspection activity.

Your views are sought:

Is the focus for inspection right?

Are there other important local area responsibilities that need to be considered by inspectors?

How can we best gather the views of children and young people, and parents and carers during inspection?

U-turn is a specialist service that provides support, help and guidance to young people and their families in Swindon with alcohol or drug-related problems.

U-turn work with around 100 young people every year who need SMU help. They also deliver prevention advice to schools and groups.

It accepts referrals from all professionals and also encourages referrals direct from young people and their parents or carers.

U-turn provides a full assessment, cognitive-behavioral interventions, motivational interviewing and specialist prescribing.

U-turn works proactively in preventing drug use and providing education to children and young people, and provides free training and consultancy.

Most young people use cannabis or alcohol as their first drug of choice, rather than Class A drugs.

Legal highs have caused raised concerns.

U-turn staff are highly trained in assessment, using nationally accredited tools. Where relevant these are linked in with other agency assessments in social work teams, health, YOT and the CAF and TAC process.
