The Local Authority Research Consortium (a collection of 14 local authorities and research organisations) have researched whether the change for children agenda is having an impact on three specific groups: looked after children; children with autism; and children not attending school at key stage 3.
They assessed impact using a 4 leveled model: changes to processes & inputs; changes to routines, experiences, attitudes; changes to outcomes; institutional/systemic embedding.
Key points:
- Most managers interviewed had a clear grasp of the vision and challenges of integrated children's services
- Changes tended to dominate the lower levels of the modeld
- Few were able to describe outcomes targeted or expected
- The higher levels were difficult to evidence for
