Implementing the Children Leeds model

 The use of this guidance will be supported by single and multi-agency training and integrated within the single and multi-agency strategies, plans, policies, protocols and procedures.

It is intended that multi-agency activity will be reported through the Children Leeds wedge partnerships and the local safeguarding children groups.

Regular reports on common assessment activity and safeguarding activity will be discussed by local managers and feed up to the Children Leeds executive and the Leeds local safeguarding children board.

In this way, multi-agency activity can be monitored at a local and city wide level by managers and strategic leads within and across each service and agency.

Parents and carers and children and young people have a significant part to play in monitoring and evaluating how successfully services are delivered to meet identified needs.  As well as existing evaluation mechanisms that integrate feedback from parents and carers and children and young people from diverse backgrounds, it is intended that additional evaluation activity including questionnaires, focus groups and interviews will support ongoing implementation of this guidance.
