This provides a basis for deciding its priorities, profiling the use of resources budgets and the skills and time of its people and shaping its future services. A strategy also provides senior managers with a rationale and structure for engaging managers and practitioners in their organisation in identifying success criteria and setting targets to monitor the effectiveness of services for children and young people; identifying the information the organisation needs to acquire to increase its effectiveness; and, for managing communications inside and outside the organisation.
Once again, Every Child Matters challenged chief officers and senior managers of local public services to move from simply developing strategy for their own organisation, to working with a range of partners to develop an effective joint strategy for their collective work to improve outcomes for children, young people and families. This should lead to a pooling of budgets and other resources, and to the joint commissioning of child-centred services from providers in the community, voluntary and independent sectors.
Local arrangements to improve outcomes for children and young people — including inter-agency governance and strategy — were subject to scrutiny by joint Inspectorates, and will include Joint Area Reviews J. If local Council services, relevant partners and other bodies were to improve outcomes for children and young people in their area, it was argued that there needed to be a fundamental re-evaluation of existing service delivery processes and procedures.
This could lead to changes in order that the joint delivery of services was supported by processes and procedures that are effective for local children and young people. A theme running strongly through Every Child Matters is that improving outcomes for children and young people could only be achieved by transforming the ways in which managers and practitioners in the different public services are organised:.
Integrated working arrangements should start from the needs of children and young people — not the structures of local public services, their organisations, departments and teams.
Public services should work with each other to provide services in ways, at times and in places that meet the needs of local children, young people and their families.
Integrated, accessible and personalised services should ensure effective intervention at an early stage with children and young people — rather than at a stage when their circumstances have reached a crisis point necessitating statutory intervention. To emphasise the importance of these outcomes as a focus for local action, the Department for Children, Schools and Families created the Outcomes Framework — against which local public services are expected to agree their priorities, plan changes to their services, and measure their collective progress towards improving outcomes for local children and young people.
A version of the green paper for children and young people. Care Matters: Time for Change. A white paper Critique — the problem of Every Child Matters Every Child Matters was, in many respects, a positive social policy programme that was the catalyst for a radical reform of the ways services were provided for children, young people and families in England. At one level it could be thought ridiculous to consider criticising Every Child Matters — how could anyone argue that not every child matters?
One immediate, practical concern is that the Children Act and Every Child Matters relate only to the local authority areas in England — no parallel legislation has been put before the Welsh or Northern Ireland Assemblies, nor the Scottish Parliament.
This raises various issues, including:. Children, young people and families who move between England and other states of the United Kingdom experience different entitlements and differing service delivery arrangements.
For example, Councils in Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland — and their partners and other bodies — are not required to re-design and integrate services to enable children and young people to make progress against five key outcomes. However, at a deeper level Every Child Matters is a language game or discourse — a favoured way of thinking that is imbued with the full weight, authority and power of the English state.
While they create a way of seeing and suggest a way of acting, they also tend to create ways of not seeing, and eliminate the possibility of actions associated with alternative views of the world. Morgan, , p For example, the whole question of spirituality is not mentioned anywhere in the outcomes framework. A further set of questions surround the extent to which the processes and procedures associated with the Every Child Matters agenda seriously invade and undermine the rights of children to privacy set out under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
In addition, it has drawn a range of practitioners including many informal educators into the formal surveillance process.
There has been a fundamental cost to this. Children and young people are being denied spaces to explore feelings, experiences and worries away from the gaze of the state. A visit by a child or young person to a third sector advice agency, for example, to talk about sexual activity can quickly trigger police intervention.
A hard driven focus on improving outcomes requires, as we have seen, the social professions and formal and informal educators to continually assess — and make judgements and decisions about — the development, behaviour and circumstances of children, young people and their families. In the context of such monitoring and scrutiny, we need to recognise that norms inherent in Every Child Matters — and within which we make assessments and decisions — are socially constructed.
Berger and Luckmann suggest that human interactions are maintained by conscious and unconscious patterns we acquire, internalise and revise as children in our families, and during our education and schooling, our training, careers and day-to-day lives. Yet, English social policy is referenced against particular realities and norms, which reflect white, middle class, patriarchal, heterosexual, Christian, able-bodied ideals Hughes, , p.
