Peer Review of Early Help Offer

Please see the following update from Social Care and Support:

Following on from the Ofsted inspection and findings in May, we have invited the Local Government Association (LGA) to conduct a Peer Review across our Early Help Offer.

The review will focus on our relationships with partners in relation to their role in providing Early Help to children and families. 

The review will help us gather partner perceptions on what is working well, but also the barriers that may need to be addressed and the further support required to improve the effectiveness of the early help offer in improving outcomes for children and families across Warwickshire.  

The Peer Review will last for three days from Monday 13 November - Wednesday 15 November.

As part of the week, the team will review our key documentation and performance data, and meet with officers and partners.

At the end of the event the Peer Challenge Team will present their findings, detailing areas of strength and improvement. Their observations and findings will be incorporated into future service delivery through the Children and Families Transformation Programme and will directly influence the 0-5 work-streams.

How you can get involved?

• We recently sent out a short survey to partners to gather partner perceptions on our Early Help Offer, which hopefully you all had a chance to complete.
• As part of the review two School Focus groups have been arranged and are well represented.  If you would like to attend please contact Rebekah Dryhurst (rebekahdryhurst@warwickshire.gov.uk), alternatively you can share your thoughts and comments with colleagues attending from your area.
