Outcomes Based Accountability, WM Regional Network

The West Midlands Regional Outcomes Based Accountability Network is a working group focussing on the implementation and further development of outcomes focussed practice across the West Midlands region.
The network was established in November 2006 following a series of interactive lectures sponsored by the Department for Children Schools and Families (DCFS) and the Improvement and Development Agency (IDeA) to begin to change the culture of target chasing to one of delivering and demonstrating real outcomes.

Following a successful bid by Telford & Wrekin Council and Shropshire County Council to the Beacon Peer Support Fund, Parvinder Chana - Outcomes Based Accountability Development Officer will be leading the implemetation of OBA across both local authorities and supporting the regional network.

The regional network met on 20th March 2008 and focussed on action planning, training and sharing good practice. The note of this meeting and a list of partners is attached.
