The framework draws together a number of important findings that form the basis for the 7 key features for children’s social care practice systems using:

  • independent evaluation reports from the first round of children’s social care innovation programme projects
  • thematic reports
  • the final overall evaluation report written by the Rees Centre at the University of Oxford for round 1

It draws upon findings from projects looking to redesign whole children’s social care practice systems, rather than work focused on a specific group of children or issue.

The framework:

  • provides an overview of what the 7 features of practice look like on the ground
  • provides an overview of the challenges and successes of implementation
  • outlines the difference that these features of practice can make to the lives of children and families
  • outlines the 7 main outcomes achieved by projects that have demonstrated them

Full details are available on the GOV.UK website.
