| IDeA guidance: | Guidance updated 26 July 2005.
Within the parameters and timeframe established by the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) under the Every Child Matters: Change for Children programme, the requirements of this outcome will be fulfilled by a portfolio of work that establishes:
· online Service Directories (ie, a comprehensive directory of services for children and young people which is widely accessible. The directory should make clear the process for accessing a service and how referrals are made)
And also demonstrates progress on:
· implementing an Integrated Children’s System (ICS)
· the e-enablement of the Common Assessment Framework (for those local authorities implementing the CAF in 2005-06)
· developing further local index systems (for Trailblazers)
What are the links between the Information Sharing (IS) Index and Framework for Multi-Agency Environments (FAME)?
Lewisham (one of the trailblazer local authorities) has based its “Identification referral and tracking of children at risk” (now Information Sharing and Assessment (ISA)) project within the FAME portfolio of products. FAME provides a generic framework for managing change to multi-agency working which local authorities and their partners may wish to adopt as an over-arching context for improving information sharing on children at risk or with additional needs. However, FAME does not itself supply the functionality that will be required of a national IS Index (ie, child indexes containing basic information about a child and the details of practitioners working with the child).
What are the links between the IS Index and Reducing Youth Offending Generic National Solution (RYOGENS)?
RYOGENS is a local government online initiative to help protect vulnerable young people from becoming involved in crime, and to reduce youth crime and anti-social behaviour. RYOGENS holds case data which excludes it from being an IS Index solution under section 12 of the Children Act 2004. |
