1 BRISTOL CIT COUNCIL Children s Scrutiny Commission 21 March 2011 AGENDA ITEM NO. 10 Report of the Strategic Director of Children, oung People and Skills Title: Performance Monitoring Third Quarter 2010/11 Ward: City-wide Officer presenting report: Claudia McConnell, Service Director, Performance, Policy and Partnerships Contact telephone number: RECOMMENDATIONS That members note the Quarter /11 performance report. That performance issues raised in this report are discussed and challenged by Children s Scrutiny Commission as appropriate. That the Commission identify other specific performance issues for challenge and more in depth review. That members comment on the proposed suite of key performance measures for Children and oung People s. SUMMAR This report provides members with an overview of performance for the period October - December 2010 in working towards improved outcomes for children, young people and families in Bristol. Appendix A shows in more detail key performance indicators that are below target. A proposed suite of key performance measures (provided at Appendix B) has been developed for Children and oung People s that reflect the objectives and future direction of directorate, and will be the basis for Scrutiny performance reports for 2011/ Introduction Scrutiny has an important role to play in the authority s performance

2 management framework. One of the key ways in which it contributes is regular questioning of senior officers on ongoing performance issues and Corporate Plan targets. The attached report (Appendix A) shows key performance indicators which are relevant to the Children s Scrutiny Commission that are below target in the third quarter of 2010/ Performance indicators below target The indicators that were below target at Quarter 3 (end of December 2010) are shown in the quarterly report (Appendix A). Against each indicator the report shows last year s performance, this year s target and the actual performance for the first three quarters of 2010/11. There are also some explanatory notes from the responsible officer and in some cases there are management notes that provide further analysis and actions that are being taken to improve performance. Indicators relating to social care should be viewed in context with increased levels of activity. Current social worker workloads are high although the fact that virtually all posts including temporary vacancies are currently covered is helpful in managing pressures. As well as the increase of numbers of children in care there has been an increase in numbers of children subject to child protection plans to 390 in January 2011, an increase from 305 in June 2010, up 27.8%. Core Assessments completed have increased from 832 in the year to the end of January 2010 to 1,093 in the year to the end of January 2011, an increase of 31.4%. Initial Assessments have increased from 2,400 in the period April January 2011 to 2,854 in the same period in an increase of 18.9%. There has also been an increase in care proceedings / pre-proceeding cases from 166 a year ago to 198 now, an increase of 19.3%. There was however a drop in new proceedings between 2009 to 2010 from 120 to105 though the latter figure is still much higher than the pre Baby P average. In summary, this is an increasingly busy picture which is stretching capacity. Indicators relating to adoption services can be viewed alongside the fact that the numbers of children being adopted remains relatively high compared to national performance. Delays in timeliness relate to the complexity of the needs of children being placed and also delays in the court process for care proceedings. Meetings are being held with the local judiciary to address these delays. Bristol is also participating in the development of the National Adoption Register to improve early identification of adopters. 3. Key measures for Children and oung People s Service In the quarter 2 performance report members were informed of the

3 Government announcement that the National Indicator Set would be deleted and that a new suite of performance measures would be developed for Children and oung People s and brought back to this commission. The draft key measures are given at Appendix B, which will be the basis for Scrutiny performance reports for 2011/12. Service Managers, Directorate Leadership Team and the Lead Member for Children s were consulted to select a set of key indicators that reflect the objectives and future direction of the directorate and meet the requirements of central government. Scrutiny members are invited to comment on whether these key measures will satisfy the performance reporting requirements for this Commission for 2011/12. This suite of key measures is a manageable size and, through quarterly monitoring, will provide a focus for improvement for officers, members, scrutiny and the public. A raft of performance and management information will still be collected for all services, and specific areas of underperformance that do not appear through this key performance information can be escalated to this commission. For information, all of the old National Indicators that related to children and young people are provided at Appendix D. 4. Ofsted Performance Profile of inspected services The section of the latest Ofsted Performance Profile (dated 2 December 2010) which holds information on inspected services is provided at Appendix C. Changes from the last profile (dated 10 August 201, presented in the Quarter 2 performance report) include: The percentage of primary schools rated good or better has increased from 46% to 51% 2 out of 3 academies were rated good (from 1 out of 2) The percentage of sixth forms rated good or better is down to 56% from 63%. This relates to the inspection of Bristol Cathedral Choir School (satisfactory judgement). Bristol has not placed anyone at the inadequate school within the Non LA special school section of the profile and will inform Ofsted to correct this mistake. Since the publication of this profile, 2 more LA children s homes have been rated good bringing the total to 7 out of 8 rated as good (88%).

4 Other Options Considered None Risk Assessment If Council services and initiatives do not lead to continually improving performance, there is a risk that this will: - lead to poor outcomes for children, young people and families - negatively impact on the annual Children s Rating - negatively influence the reputation of the Council Equalities Impact Assessment Not applicable for this cover report.

(KD) 81.2% of CiC now have a Personal Educational Plan (PEP) within 6 months, a significant increase in comparison to the same quarter last year (75.9%). A structure is in place to support the completion of PEPs and Bristol are confident that they will surpass the level achieved in Q4 09/10. Co-ordination of PEP meetings is currently a major focus. A business support post to coordinate PEPs has been appointed. Actions to Improve Performance Education for Children Looked After Service (ECLAS) teachers to continue supporting social workers with the writing and formalising of PEPs Additional administrative staff are being employed for one year to co-ordinate the first PEP meetings and create a better communication system between the social worker and the designated teacher. The virtual school governing body, senior leadership team and children causing concern meeting all offer challenge. Implementation of the new PEP forms, with better clarity on roles and responsibilities for social care staff and designated teachers, will lead to improved quality of PEPs. KL100 Percentage of year olds in learning Education Strategy & Targeted % 84.0% 82.6% 80.0% 79.6% 79.6% (3/4) The number of young people aged that are currently accessing learning has dropped from Q2, although December has seen the figure rise back over the 80% mark as predicted. (AC) Overall the number of year olds in learning has dropped by nearly 2% from the same period last year. Despite this, the number of 16 and 17 year olds in learning has risen (up 0.6% for 16 year olds and 1.2% for 17 year olds). 18 year olds in learning has dropped dramatically, although as there has not been a corresponding increase in NEET, it is possible to infer that these 18 year olds have decided to seek employment rather than continued education. It is likely that uncertainty around tuition fees for Higher Education has contributed to this overall decrease in learning. Connexions will continue to work closely with Job Centre Plus and FE providers to increase the number of 18 year olds accessing learning opportunities.

(KD) (Quarter 1-3) Performance has improved from Quarter 2, but is slightly below target. Performance remains higher than for the previous year and is better than Statistical Neighbour and England averages. A number of initiatives are in place to improve timeliness including monthly Duty Manager meetings, regular reporting of team performance, and teaming up high performing managers with teams that are below city average. NI062 Stability of placement of looked after children: number of moves % 11.50% 13.39% 11.28% 12.33% 12.33% (3/4) 82 out of 665 Looked After Children had three or more placements from to (KD) There have been an unprecedented number of in house carers who have needed to end placements for reasons that could not have been anticipated. This has contributed to the worsening of performance against this indicator. Several actions are being taken to address performance against this indicator: The Service Manager, Specialist Commissioning and is leading a group of managers across the children in care service to focus on improving placement stability. Work is underway to improve placement planning meetings and develop a strong system for identifying placements at risk and ensuring carers are well supported by a multi disciplinary team around the child approach. Bristol's Collaborative Service Team Manager is developing a system to track at risk placements and analyse individual placement disruptions. Data quality recording issues are also being addressed to ensure that performance against NI62 accurately reflects the number of moves experienced by children in care. Bristol s Emergency Foster Care Scheme is being refreshed with a plan to provide early placement stability and assessment. Bristol s in house fostering service is moving towards a business model and this target will be included within the SLA NI063 Stability of placement of looked after children: length of placement Q1 Act Q2 Act Q3 Act Q4 Act Actual to Officer Notes Date % 71.0% 71.4% 67.9% 68.6% 68.6% (3/4) (Quarter 1-3) 157 Looked After children out of 229 were in the same placement for at least 2 years at (KD) (Quarter 1-3) Performance has been negatively affected by the loss of in house carers due to ill health, death, bereavement and a number of allegations that have necessitated a child s move. Actions to Improve Performance: The Placement Stability Working Group continues to meet and is in the process of launching a new outcomes focussed placement agreement meeting format aimed at supporting placement stability. Whilst performance in this area continues to challenge, awareness raising and skills development workshops are underway with social workers. Data quality recording issues are also being addressed to ensure that performance against NI62 accurately reflects the number of moves experienced by children in care. Bristol s in house fostering service is moving towards a business model and this target will be included within the SLA Performance within the in house fostering service will be monitored and reported against as detailed within the SLA, and will include NI061 and NI062.

This is equal to the figure achieved for the same Quarter last year. Bristol has the third lowest number of Not Known young people when compared against eight Core Cities. (AC) NI061 Timeliness of placements of looked after children for adoption following agency adoption decision % 86.0% 66.7% 58.3% 54.2% 54.2% (3/4) There were 24 children adopted during the period to , of whom 13 were placed for adoption within 12 months of the decision they should be placed for adoption. (KD) During the first three quarters of of the 24 children adopted, 11 waited more than 12 months between the decision that they should be placed for adoption and the actual placement with adopters. Of these 11 children, 5 children were black or dual heritage, 3 children had a specific disability and 6 of the children were over school age. It is well reported that these groups of children take longer to place with adoptive families due to a national shortage of adopters for older children and children who are black or dual heritage or have a specific disability. The length of time between the decision that adoption should be the plan and placing a child for adoption can be a positive reflection of the extensive lengths the Authority will go to identify adopters. Bristol has continued to place older and more complex children for adoption. In addition during % of the children with an adoption plan were black or dual heritage, there continues to be a shortage of adopters with this profile. Actions to Improve Performance: Bristol has reviewed its recruitment strategy and there is now more focused recruitment for the types of adopters who meet the needs of Bristol children An additional adopters preparation course was run to increase the pool of Bristol adopters Bristol continues to consider adoption for a wide range of children who cannot live with birth family members although these children can take a long time to place.

(KD) There has been a significant increase to 18.5% from 11% in 2009/10. There has also been a significant rise in the number of children subject of a Child Protection Plan in November and December 2010, the highest number over the last 3 years. This is impacting all agencies working with these children. Analysis has identified that the increase relates to a small number of large families where the children have again become subject of Child Protection Plan. Business Unit Manager is providing further analysis of children who have been the subject of a child protection plan for a second/subsequent time. NI117 Percentage of 16 to 18 year olds who are not in education, employment or training Education Strategy & Targeted Q1 Act Q2 Act Q3 Act Q4 Act Actual to Officer Notes Date - 7.7% 6.4% 9.1% 9.2% 7.4% 7.4% (3/4) Numbers of NEET young people in Bristol have reduced in Q3 to an average of 7.4% across the 3 months. (AC) This is a significant reduction from Q2 (9.2%) and is the lowest NEET figure recorded for Q3 for five years. Bristol has the third lowest number of NEET year olds when compared against eight Core Cities. Integrated working with all Bristol training providers and the move to the more flexible Foundation Learning has been key to this success. (LO) NI148 Percentage of care leavers in education, employment or training % 70.00% 40.00% 46.15% 51.06% 51.06% (3/4) 24 out of 47 young people. (KD) Of those 23 young people recorded as NEET, one is currently on a training course with Fairbirdge, while another is attending Hengrove College. One is now undertaking security training course (SIA) while another is awaiting the start of a college placement. One young person is currently claiming job seekers allowance as they are attending a training course with the Job Centre. Two young people previously had temporary employment, although this has now ended. Several courses have been offered to another young person, however personal circumstances are preventing take-up. Two young people within this cohort have learning difficulties. Two young people are currently staying at home to look after young children, while one is currently in custody with an expected release date of April Bristol has 18 care leavers currently attending university and 11 care leavers are applying for university. Action to Improve Performance Partnerships continue to be developed with Connexions, universities, colleges and organisations such as the Fairbridge Project. Work experience placements are on an upward trend (including those within the council). There are examples of successful employment occurring as a result of this. This indicator must be put into context. This measure is in fact a snapshot in time based on a group of 19 yr olds after their 19th Birthday. The overall picture is that greater numbers of care leavers are going on to further and higher education. Bristol is taking part in the national employability project lead by the National Care Advisory Service. PAFC63 Participation of looked after children in reviews Performance has dipped from Quarter % 94.00% 91.09% 85.74% 79.69% 79.69% (3/4) In the period to there were 522 relevant Looked After children, of whom 416 contributed to their LAC reviews. (KD) The apparent drop in performance is not a reflection of actual performance. There are currently management capacity issues in the Reviewing Service that have impacted on data quality. This will be addressed in the next quarter. Printed by: Graham Wilkie SPAR.net Print Date: 23 February :15
