About the session:
The Families First reforms represent a major transformation of children’s services in England, aiming to create a more integrated, family-focused system of support. Education colleagues play a key role in supporting children and their families at every stage, from Family Help and preventative services, through to child protection.
This session is a chance for DSLs from across the education community in Cheshire East to understand more about the reforms.
The webinar will cover:
1. A summary of the Families First reforms and what they mean in practice
2. Learning from Pathfinder areas already implementing the reforms
3. What we’ve done and thought about so far in Cheshire East
4. Opportunities for reflection, comments, and questions
5. Next steps and how to get involved
