C4EO Golden Threads

The Golden Threads are the ten key messages that underpin our work. Together they act as a whole, requiring committed and visionary leadership to make them a reality.

Prove it

Making change happen

Families deserve to know their services are tried and tested, yet a lack of cost and outcome data is hindering efforts to prove the value of interventions. Services must take ownership over data and engage with the evidence around ‘what works’ if they are to deliver excellence. This over-arching message applies across all themes; and is most explicit in the Youth and Early Intervention themes.

 

C4EO Research Reviews relevant to this area include:

Early Years

Integrating services: there is a need to address the gap in the evidence base for the impact of integrated services on children's outcomes.

Safeguarding

Information informing assessments needs to be organised and analysed and come from a number of different sources.

Child Poverty

Whole area child poverty strategies need to be built upon an audit of existing provision and a needs analysis.

Schools and communities

Strong strategic leadership and clear aims informed by evidence of what works locally, are required to:.

Youth

Managers need reliable information and good communication in order to achieve their goals.

Families, Parent and Carers

Needs assessments for families should involve the views of parents and children.
