Emerging practice

These are examples of practice and approaches which illustrate steps towards service re-design and/or transformation. It is likely to be too early in the process to demonstrate evidence of improved outcomes for children, young people and families

C4EO is constantly adding new examples of emerging local practice and we continue to welcome any submissions.

 

Sharing the evidence of 'what works' in local areas

C4EO is keen to capture new or relatively recent examples of where local authorities are re-designing their services to reflect a need to be both more efficient and, at the same time, improve outcomes for children, young people and families. We recognise that it is likely to be too early to demonstrate evidence of impact on children and families, but the thinking and process of change being implemented could be shared and be of value to others.

Emerging practice

provides a clear description and rationale but the practice or process is in the early stages of development, with little or no evidence of impact and outcomes for children, young people and their families.
