Theme Lead DCS: Anthony May, Nottinghamshire
The purpose of this JRIEP work strand is to develop minimum standards for CAF and integrated working practices that can be adopted across the East Midlands by all Children's Trusts to establish:
- A common language, understanding and expectation
- A minimum practice standard that assures all families, service providers and partner organisations about consistency of quality
- Greater consistency for families and services that cross Children's Trust boundaries.
The regional minimum standards were developed during 2010 and either have been, or are being adopted by Children's Trust partnerships. A number of useful resources are being shared through this website to support partner organisations achieve the standards.
The standards are grouped under the headings in the list below and a full version can be downloaded here or by using the link at the foot of the page.
