Introducing ….. The One Children’s Workforce Framework and Tool
What is the One Children’s Workforce Framework?
A framework which describes what a reformed workforce looks like at local level
A rainbow with 7 arcs based around the Every Child Matters Outcomes which describe the main elements of workforce reform
Identifies what success looks like from the perspectives of a child, a team, a service and a children’s trust
The Framework
For example…
Characteristics of a fragmented workforce:Workforce identity often based on occupational groups.
Presence of these separate identities and lack of a coherent vision impedes change.
Characteristics of a reformed workforce:Shared identity and a shared vision of better services for children.
Organisational changes are led and managed within a strong sense of purpose.
Shared identity, purpose and vision
How will we assess where we are now and what will we do with it?
• Collect evidence - use events like today to ask some key questions that will feed into the tool
• Pilot using the tool between now and end of December
• Use results/reports from the tool to inform local planning
We are going to work together to complete the questionnaire
