Following the March 2015 publication of the Ofsted thematic report, “Early Help: Whose Responsibility”, the SESLIP Steering Group considered the recommendations of the report and identified a number of potential options for further work.
Following an options appraisal it was agreed that the area of work, which would be most beneficial to the South East local authorities was the development of a joint framework for the evaluation of the impact and effectiveness of early help interventions.
The aim of the project is to establish a framework, which can be used across the region, to measure the impact and effectiveness of early help services.
The framework should ensure that the focus is less on process compliance and more on the quality of work, effectiveness of services and the impact on children and families.
