DELIVERING OUR AMBITIONS

Ambition 4 – Our resources

Our resources are focused on providing responsive, dynamic and holistic integrated services across health, education and social care which identify need and provide support at the earliest opportunity to meet needs and prevent escalation of concern.

What we will do

Service integration and Children and Family Centres

Why this is important

In Bromley we have a successful and highly achieving range of universal and targeted services that are available for all our families. These are well resourced and have proven impact for most of our families. This support, covering health, education and social care agencies, is well co-ordinated through our Children and Family Centres which provide an opportunity for partners to co-locate the delivery of their services in the communities where our families live. By doing so, they can improve update and usage whilst reducing waste through making access easier for families.

Our top 3 priorities

  • We will ensure Children and Family Centres offer a welcoming one stop shop to access a range of useful services.
  • We will improve peoples’ experiences of early years services, by joining up our support around children and families.
  • We will ensure our commissioned and directly delivered services are compatible with this Plan and positively facilitate the delivery of our priorities.

Measures of progress

  • Reduced demand for Education, Health and Care needs assessments.
  • Increased co-location and satellite presence for a growing and diverse range of services across the partnership through the Children and Family Centres and Youth Hubs.
  • Increased identification of children’s needs in an Early Years setting, maximising ‘school readiness’.
  • The priorities of the plan are reflected in KPIs for externally commissioned provision.
