IMPROVING OUTCOMES
The Every Child Matters (ECM) Outcomes Framework ( 48kb) has formed the basis for our own priority setting. The priorities set out below were arrived at through the combined analysis of a range of information. This information is:
Demographic data: the information
originally provided in the
CYPP 2006-09 has been updated and
extended drawing upon a range of
sources including the MORI Residents
Survey 2006.
Performance data: the most recent
analysis of performance indicators has
been considered in respect of the CYPP
priorities and wider performance issues
for children and young people’s services.
Consultation with children and
young people: the views of nearly
5000 children and young people have
been fed into the needs assessment
process.
Consultation with parents/carers:
the views of 200 parents/carers have
been fed into the needs assessment
process.
Self-assessment and inspection:
through Annual Performance
Assessment (APA), Joint Area Review
(JAR) and Corporate Performance
Assessment (CPA) inspections a number
of areas for improvement have been
identified.

In setting priorities we have acknowledged the progress we have made so far around the aims set out in the ECM Outcomes Framework.
