1 Introduction
The second Hackney Children and Young Peoples Strategic Plan 2008-2011 was published in June 2008. It sets out our commitment to improving outcomes for children and young people in Hackney and how we will do this. The Plan is owned by the Hackney Children and Young Peoples Partnership, which ensures that all partner agencies are involved and committed to delivering our shared priorities. The plan identifies eight priorities, where collaborative working will really make a difference to children, young people and families in Hackney, particularly those who are suffering some disadvantage. These priorities are: We want more young people in Hackney to be in education and training, and to have a better range of opportunities between the ages of 14-19. We want to improve the educational attainment of vulnerable groups of children and young people. We want to reduce offending and re-offending amongst young people in Hackney. We want to ensure that children and young people are safe both in the home and around Hackney. We want to make sure that children and young people in Hackney enjoy good mental health. We want to improve services for disabled children and young people. We want to encourage healthy lifestyles. We want more and better activities for young people in Hackney.
The Plan is not a detailed account of all we plan to do over the three years. Other priority areas, for example, raising educational achievement across all key stages, are detailed in individual agency plans. These eight areas are those where we need a stronger collective focus in order to have a real impact on outcomes for children and young people. The Plan also describes how we value all parents and carers from the many social and ethnic backgrounds in Hackney, recognising that effective parenting is one of the most important ways to ensure that children grow up to be happy, healthy adults. We want to provide support for families, parents and carers at all stages in childrens lives, but particularly from a very early age to promote a good start in life, helping to narrow the gap in outcomes for children and young people from disadvantaged backgrounds as one part of our approach to tackling child poverty. The Plan emphasises the importance of making sure that children and young people are fully involved in developing our services. We know that we can only develop the best services by listening to the views of children and young people as well as their parents and carers. In our Youth Charter we set out how we would like children and young people to be involved in developing the services they use and how we want their achievements to be recognised and celebrated. In the final chapter of the Plan we identify changes that we are committed to implementing, which concern how people from the main organisations and our partners will work together when they are delivering services for children, young people and families and how we will plan those services together.

One year in to the delivery of the plan we have reviewed it to: 1.1 Measure progress against the priorities Take account of new circumstances Maintain the momentum of change. How the review of year one of the Plan was completed
We have undertaken our annual review of our plan and priorities through: Reviewing our progress in delivering the eight priorities and other themes in the Children and Young Peoples Strategic Plan Reviewing our performance, strengths and weaknesses against national performance indicators. Consultation with partners across the Childrens Trust.
To do this we have drawn on the available evidence including inspection reports, our own Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA), 2008, the results of the Tellus3 survey and other survey data, as well as our own system to monitor the Plan, which includes the performance indicators that are being used nationally. Good progress has been made, but there is much more to do. In this document we set out our progress in 2008/09 and what we plan to do in 2009/10 to further improve outcomes for children and young people in Hackney. 1.2 Our relationship with the Hackney Sustainable Community Strategy
In Hackney, a wide range of organisations have come together under Team Hackney, our Local Strategic Partnership, with the aim of delivering the aims of a ten-year Sustainable Community Strategy. This Sustainable Community Strategy focuses on ways of tackling poverty and inequality in the borough, and aims to make Hackney a place of greater prosperity and opportunity for all residents. In order to help the partnership achieve these aims, and to make sure that our progress is being tracked, Team Hackney and the government have put in place a Local Area Agreement, which contains a number of targets for the borough. These targets have been chosen from a single set of performance indicators that is being used nationally. The six priorities of the Sustainable Community Strategy are to: Reduce poverty by supporting residents into sustainable employment, and promoting employment opportunities. Help residents to become better qualified and raise educational aspirations Promote health and wellbeing for all, and support independent living Make the borough safer, and help people to feel safe in Hackney Promote mixed communities in well-designed neighbourhoods, where people can access high quality, affordable housing. Be a sustainable community, where all citizens take pride in and take care of Hackney and its environment, for future generations. The Hackney Children and Young Peoples Plan 2008-2011 demonstrates how its aims link to the themes within the Sustainable Community Strategy and the Local Area Agreement. In reviewing the Plan we have ensured that we continue to respond to these ambitions.

2.1
Childrens Trust Arrangements

Review of Childrens Trust Arrangements
In April 2007 Hackney agreed arrangements to provide inter-agency governance of Childrens Services and to develop integrated working amongst all relevant partners. These arrangements were set up to be reviewed after one year and the process of review was set in train in spring 2008. The review suggested that the arrangements should be brought more in line with those in Hackneys local strategic partnership, while still fulfilling the distinct remit of the Childrens Trust. The timing of the Hackney review proved fortuitous, in that the DCSF issued more guidance on the form and function of Childrens Trusts. The revised governing board arrangements comply with this guidance. Statutory partners and the voluntary sector were consulted through the Children and Young Peoples Partnership Board and Provider Forum and the new arrangements were agreed by individual statutory organisations at their Board meetings in March and April 2009 for implementation from May 2009. The revised governance arrangements for the Childrens Trust include: A Childrens Trust Board providing the strategic overview and direction for integrated children and young peoples services. Alongside further development of partnership working for children and young people, the Board will carry out the statutory functions of a Childrens Trust. A Children and Young People Stakeholders Forum this forum will provide a platform for consultation and information sharing on Children and Young People issues.
2.2
Safeguarding arrangements and the City and Hackney Safeguarding Children Board (CHSCB)
The CHSCB is a partnership of the key statutory providers and has representation from the voluntary sector. It is led by an independent chair who is also a member of the Childrens Trust Board. Following a review in 2008, the partnership has been reorganised and provided with additional resources. The CHSCB holds all partner agencies to account for the effectiveness of their child protection work as well as providing an infrastructure which supports agencies in that work. All agencies are clear about their respective responsibilities and take all possible steps to ensure that these are discharged effectively. An audit tool based on Section 11 of the 2004 Children Act has recently been developed which all agencies will complete to further test out their effectiveness in child protection work. The collective outcomes of the audit will be considered by the Safeguarding Board and the Childrens Trust Board in Autumn 2009 with reports and recommendations for each agency. The CHSCB is responsible for carrying out a Serious Case Review (SCR) when a child dies, and abuse or neglect is known or suspected to be a factor in the death. These reviews are subject to evaluation by OFSTED. Two case reviews have been evaluated by Ofsted, the first was evaluated as adequate, and the second as good. Partners are drawing on the learning from these two reviews.

In November 2007 the Council embarked on a major change programme to improve the quality of its social work with children and families. This programme is known as Reclaiming Social Work and is described in more detail under priority 4 (see page 24). 2.3 External assessment of services for children and young people in Hackney
Ofsteds 2008 Annual Performance Assessment (APA) rated childrens services in Hackney as good overall with the following scores for each of the Every Child Matters outcomes and capacity to improve. Judgement area Overall effectiveness of childrens services Being healthy Staying safe Enjoying and achieving Making a positive contribution Achieving economic well-being Capacity to improve APA grade 3 3 3 3 3 2 3
Inspectors make judgements based on the following scale: 4: outstanding/excellent; 3: good; 2: adequate; 1: inadequate The report recognised that Hackney makes a good contribution to improving outcomes for children and young people and has made good progress in responding to the recommendations made in the 2007 APA. Key areas for development Ofsted noted the following key areas for development against the 5 ECM outcomes (based on 2007/08 data): High levels of childhood obesity Timeliness of serious case reviews Standards at the end of Key Stage 2 are below similar councils and the national average. The proportion of primary schools in a category of concern had not reduced from the previous year. The level of exclusion for pupils with learning difficulties and/or disabilities is high The number of first-time entrants into the youth justice system is above similar Councils The proportion of young people who are not in education, employment or training is above similar councils and nearly twice the national average. The proportion of young people who achieve Level 2 or Level 3 qualifications by 19 is below similar councils and national averages. Although improving, attainment at Level 3 is below similar councils and well below the national average. A significantly higher proportion of young people with learning difficulties are not engaged in education, employment or training compared to similar councils and the national average.
These areas have been addressed within the relevant section of progress against priorities. The APA has now been replaced by new, joint inspection arrangements called Comprehensive Area Assessment (CAA) which will report in November 2009.

City & Hackney Joint Strategic Needs Assessment 2008
The first Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) for Hackney and the City of London was published in December 2008. The JSNA aims to describe the health and wellbeing needs of the residents of Hackney and is designed to inform the decisions of commissioners and service providers. The report draws on many sources of information to build a full picture of local need including: national statistics from government and data from local sources, the views and experience of local residents from focus groups and local surveys. Areas of need for children and young people identified in the JSNA are addressed under the CYPP priorities covering services for disabled children, mental health and healthy lifestyles on pages 26 to 36. The 2008 assessment is now being refreshed and workshops have been held in the local community to inform the 2009 assessment. 2.5 Children and Young Peoples Scrutiny Commission
In Hackney we have a very active Children and Young Peoples Scrutiny Commission. Over the past year there have been a number of reviews conducted:
Youth and crime review 0-5 services review A Children and Adolescents Mental Health Services (CAMHS) Review
In addition the Health in Hackney Scrutiny Commission has undertaken a review on childhood obesity. Specific issues identified through the scrutiny process are addressed under the different CYPP priorities. For example the findings of the youth and crime scrutiny review fed into the development of the Youth Crime Reduction Strategy. The CYP Scrutiny Commission also ran a one-off scrutiny review with local students taking on the role of councillors to interview senior officer, local Cabinet Members and expert witnesses. Following the evidence received they produced seven recommendations about how to increase the involvement of young people in local democracy. Going forward we are making arrangements to fully engage the Hackney Youth Parliament in the scrutiny process and in the reviews of interest to them, including through formalising their involvement at the scoping stage of each review . In particular we are looking to commission pieces of work from young people to inform the findings of reviews. In September 2009 the Commission will begin a review of child poverty focusing on how services help to raise aspirations for children and young people and their families. This will feed into the cross-borough working group on Child Poverty (see page 9).
2.6
Engagement with Children and Young People
The Hackney Youth Charter sets out our commitment to make sure that the views of children and young people are not only heard but included in the decision-making processes around the services they use and examples of how we are achieving this are set out throughout this review. The review itself is illustrated with pages from Hackneys Young Peoples Guide to the CYPP which was developed by a group of young people from neighbourhood youth forums as well as the disability forum, the youth offending young peoples board and the looked after children group.

Progress against our priorities
This section details progress against each of the eight priorities in the plan as well as the overarching priorities to reduce child poverty and support parents in Hackney. 3.1 3.1.1 Cross-cutting priorities: Child Poverty and Supporting Parents Child Poverty
Our capabilities approach to addressing child poverty is mainstreamed within our Sustainable Community Strategy. The approach is an enabling one which aims to build resilience so that no child or young person is prevented by poverty from fulfilling their potential. There is much to do, particularly in the current economic climate, and we know that a multi-faceted approach is needed. We have agreed to set up a task group reporting to our Local Strategic Partnership in recognition of the cross-cutting approach required. Whilst the best route out of poverty is through sustainable employment, we know that there is a need to promote equality of opportunity and break intergenerational cycles of poverty by narrowing the gaps in the five Every Child Matters outcomes. We are seeking to address the poverty experienced by the children of today through raising household incomes, but also poverty of the future by improving employability, qualifications and aspirations, health, safety in the borough and the quality of homes and neighbourhoods. Over the last 3 years the employment rate in Hackney has improved. In July 2006 our employment rate was the lowest in Great Britain at 53.2%, it is now 63.9%. We are continuing to innovate in the ways we can help people into work through, for example, our Skills Strategy, City Strategy Pathfinder, developing a job brokerage scheme and the opportunities afforded as a host borough for the 2012 Olympics. From national research we know that as children pass through the education system, inequalities in attainment become greater for those from lower socio-economic groups. We are maintaining a focus on improving the qualifications of our residents, and importantly supporting the aspirations of our children and young people and narrowing the gap in attainment for vulnerable groups. Education has improved faster than the national rate of improvement at GCSE, and the TellUs 3 survey revealed that 70% of those polled in Hackney wanted to go on to study for university, compared with a national average of 54%. We are continuously improving our offer for 14-19 yearolds in Hackney and are seeing more 16-18 year-olds going on to education, employment, or training. We are also seeing significant improvements in success rates for 16-18 years olds, particularly for level 2 qualifications (see priorities 1 and 2, pages 12 to 19). We have made good progress in tackling health inequalities our local health commissioning is focused on addressing some of the key issues that are barriers to employment and well-being, including mental health. We have had successes with teenage pregnancy rates which have fallen faster in Hackney than in all but one local authority area in the country. With the health sector we have halved infant mortality in the last decade through creative, but very practical interventions. Our big priority going forward is tackling childhood obesity supported by our Healthy Weight Strategy (see Priority 7, page 33). We aim to make the borough a safer place for young people through our Youth Crime Reduction Strategy and building on our excellent work to tackle gang culture. Our Youth Offer aims to provide more positive activities for young people, with an increasing number of accredited opportunities so that young people can enhance their life chances. (see priorities 3 and 8, pages 20 and 37). We are tackling deprivation in communities with a housing programme that includes estates renewal, plans to bring all Hackneys rented homes up to the Government Decent Homes Standard by 2012 and developing mixed tenures with all the necessary education, health and community facilities at Woodberry Down. Our overall approach is to provide quality, affordable
10

homes for all income groups, looking at the need for affordability at all stages of life, home size and progression between tenures. The Higher Hackney Standard will make estates a better place to live ensuring a green environment; safe play areas; improved communal facilities and increased security. Our Parks and Open Spaces programme will deliver new and restored community facilities, enhanced parks and green spaces and an improved infrastructure. We recognise that tackling child poverty is a huge challenge in Hackney and that more needs to be done to build on our approach. In Autumn 2009 we will begin our cross-cutting policy review and a scrutiny review (the findings of which will feed into the policy review) to gather evidence and make recommendations to further develop our understanding of effective ways to tackle child poverty. 3.1.2 Supporting parents
We know that parenting has the single biggest impact on outcomes for children and young people. Strong parental involvement will help to improve achievement and behaviour and ensure that children are healthy, able to learn and more likely to become responsible adults. Our parenting strategy identifies that we want all parents to have access to universal and targeted support to ensure they are first educators and highly effective carers of their children. This is why we are building work with families and carers of children and young people into our work across the Partnership, providing a range of parenting and family support starting early on in childrens lives. We have begun a review of our parenting strategy to make sure that children have the very best start in life. The review will focus on how well we are engaging parents through our universal offer and test the effectiveness of systemic interventions targeted at families in partnership with the national academy of parenting practitioners. We know if we use the right evidence-based interventions (particularly Webster-Stratton and SPOKES groups) we can attain lasting change in parenting behaviour that can have a significant effect on outcomes for children Proposed Priorities of the refreshed Parenting Strategy We want to improve outcomes for children by working with parents and families by focusing on the following priorities: For all parents To continue to raise attainment across all schools and in particular for underachieving groups, with parents supported to be fully involved in their childrens education To encourage children to lead more healthy lifestyles and further develop family-based programmes; To encourage more young people to engage in positive activities; For parents to access affordable childcare and to have meaningful life choices, including work. For Parents that need extra support To tackle issues arising as a result of child poverty at an early age; To support parents to reduce levels of young people offending and re-offending; To ensure that children are increasingly safe and parents are supported to enable this To improve services to disabled children and their families;

For Parents and/or children who are patients To make sure that fewer children experience mental health problems and that parents can access evidence based support

Progress in 2008/09
Young people not in education, employment or training (NEET) Our approach to the reduction of young people who are NEET combines the development of the 14-19 curriculum; access to good quality information, advice and guidance; a guaranteed offer of post-16 learning for year 11 leavers; and targeted work from the Youth Support Team for those finishing year 12. In 2008, to escalate progress in reducing the proportion of young people who are NEET, we put in place a multi-agency NEET Improvement Board, chaired by the DCS. The Board draws on external support and expertise from the Government Office for London (GOL) and Central London Connexions Partnership. Recent National Indicator data shows that we have met our 2009 targets and are on track to meet the 2010 stretch targets with the percentage of NEETs falling from around 17% to just over 10% in the last 2 years. Improvements to data management and tracking have also led to a reduction of the number of young people who are unknown. In 08/09 Team Hackney, our Local Strategic Partnership, commissioned the following activities to address the number of 16-19 year olds in the borough classified as NEET. Expanded Youth Support Teams (YSTs) funding to enable the existing YSTs to expand their capacity and specifically target the NEET group. Additional Support to Pupil Referral Units (PRUs) funding for progression mentors to provide supplementary support to young people attending the boroughs PRUs. Keep it Moving a training and employment programme specifically delivered to the NEET target group through a consortium of providers led by Inspire.
These interventions have been externally evaluated and have demonstrated good progress in meeting targets for engagement and impact and will be carried forward into 09/10, incorporating recommendations from the evaluation. Development of Diplomas - increasing choice at both 14 and post-16. Hackney is leading the way on the development of Diplomas as a way of increasing choice at both 14 and post-16. Gateway 1: We are already running Construction and the Built Environment, Creative & Media and Society, Health and Development Diplomas. Gateway 2: From September 2009 we are offering Business Administration and Finance, Hospitality and Environment and Land Based Studies.
13
14

Gateway 3: In September 2010 we expect to be running Information Technology, Hair and Beauty, Travel and Tourism, and Sport and Active Leisure Diplomas. This means that we are well on track to deliver the 14-19 diploma entitlement for Hackney students with sign-posted routes to access 4 diplomas not being offered in Hackney but on offer in adjacent boroughs School Places The BSF and Academies programmes are well advanced and by 2010 five new secondary schools will have opened in Hackney. Our strategy to provide more mixed, non-denominational, non-selective schools to meet parental demand is well on the way to being achieved. Many more parents and children now have access to high quality and successful secondary schools in Hackney and by September 2010 Hackney will have provision in borough for 82% of primary school transfers, which exceeds its committed target of 80%. The strategy also incorporates a phased growth in post-16 places with planning in place for 10 schools, working in partnership with our FE providers, to offer post 16 education. Review of Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG) An audit of the IAG quality standards undertaken in 2008, informed by 200 peer interviews undertaken by a young peoples consultative group, has resulted in the development of a new IAG strategy. A new Careers Education Information Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) Teaching Consultant has been appointed to take this work forward with schools and post-16 providers. Post-16 achievement Achievement of Level 2 and 3 qualifications post 16 was identified by Ofsted as a key area for development in the 2008 APA. Outcomes for 2008 show significantly improved success rates, particularly for level 2 qualifications for 16-18 year olds with an 11% increase. For Level 3 qualifications we have seen a 5% increase, and have met the LAA target. These results reflect overall raised achievement both post-16 and at the end of key stage 4. Level 2 provision has expanded, including vocational provision, and we expect the rate of improvement to be maintained as we increase the number of quality post-16 places offered locally. While more young people are now better qualified, we are working to improve the coordination and quality of skills provision in the borough. We need to make it easier for our young people to get advice and guidance on skills development. We are looking at using the partnership-wide Public Service Promise to better signpost services. Restorative Justice impact on exclusions We have taken a restorative justice approach to behaviour in schools, including work with out-of-borough schools, which has led to a marked decrease in exclusions - in some of the pilot schools fixed-term exclusions have fallen by as much as half. We have a number of programmes doing great work in schools to foster pupils development beyond academic achievement, for example, mentoring schemes that have increased social skills and confidence, and reduced anti-social behaviour. The 2008 APA noted that the level of exclusion for pupils with learning difficulties and/or disabilities was high (06/07 data). In 2007/08 we saw a 32% reduction in the number of individual LDD pupils with a fixed period exclusion as well as a 27% reduction in the number of incidents in the context of an increased number of pupils with statements in mainstream secondary schools. This reduction can be attributed to the successful implementation of different strands of our behaviour strategy including: transformation of the PRU provision; support to prevent exclusion and increase rates of reintegration; and the restorative approaches pilot started in 2007/08. This reduction has continued in 2008/09 with a 22% reduction in the number of individual LDD pupils with a fixed period exclusion as well as a 41% reduction in the number of incidents against the 2007/08 data.

Key Strategies and plans
Progress in 2008/09
Children in Care Outstanding schools for children in Care An Early Years Mentor has been appointed to work with foster carers and guardians, inand out-of-borough, to provide advice around nursery and school placements. Training is also provided to foster carers to support informed decisions about school placement, how to recognise effective teaching and learning and how to support homework. Staff in the Virtual School for Looked After Children (LAC) are also available to provide advice and support and the headteacher is a member of the Fostering Panel, providing additional opportunity to drive awareness of the importance of planning school placements. In September 2008 the cohort of looked after children transferring to secondary school all secured a place in local provision that is rated as good or outstanding. E-Learning All LAC pupils in years 6 and 11 have received laptops to support their learning and pupils working with Virtual School teachers engage in eLearning enrichment activities as part of additional support activities. Virtual School and designated teachers, social workers and carers have received training and information on e Learning and the Learning Platform. Tutoring Tutors were engaged for those out borough pupils in year 6 and year 11, providing support in the lead up to exams and, in one case, the Virtual School funded a teacher in a school to provide extra tuition. We will be able to evaluate the impact of tutoring once the 2009 KS2 and GCSE results are published. Personal Education Plans (PEPs) PEP forms have been re-designed to eliminate repetition and ensure clarity for all users. As part of the work done to improve the quality of the PEPs, there is now a dedicated worker from the Virtual School to manage the PEP protocol and liaise directly with schools and social workers. Responsibilities include review and tracking of targets, regular PEP surgeries and monthly monitoring to identify issues that may impact on academic attainment and ensure these are addressed. An electronic version of the PEP form has been designed to incorporate the data collection and monitoring systems. This will be implemented following information and training sessions for social workers and schools. Intervention Projects 13 intervention teachers have been appointed to work with secondary schools providing direct support to groups of young people at risk of not achieving and to provide CPD support to teachers.

14 Supplementary schools receive LAA funding to provide additional educational support to lower achieving groups including Caribbean and Turkish/Kurdish children. 20 voluntary and community sector groups are working with primary and secondary schools to Get Hackney Reading improving reading in the wider community by enthusing and engaging children, young people and adults in reading and literacyfocused activities. Support for Parents On page 10 we set out our proposed priorities for our parenting strategy which is currently being refreshed. Hackney provides a range of local services and programmes that support and feed into parenting approaches these include: The Family Information Service (FIS) (formerly the Children's Information Service) which provides information and advice on childcare as well as general information on a wide range of services for children and young people aged 019 years and their families in the borough. Parent Support Advisers in all 6 children services clusters. Each PSA focuses on 4 primary schools working with parents on a casework basis and working with groups of parents in formal and informal settings. Empowerment for Parents programme, a 12 week programme based on group work that focuses on core parenting skills, with the development of parents networks. Parental Involvement Officers in 9 primary and 4 secondary schools focused on Caribbean-heritage and Turkish/Kurdish communities This programme is delivered by the Early Intervention Parenting Programme Team (EIPP). This programme has an excellent evidence base and approved by NICE as the best intervention for responding to this age group of children who have behaviour problems. For parents of children 5-8 this programme can be followed up with the SPOKES programme which helps parents to improve their childrens reading. Some programmes will be delivered in Turkish. The Family Intervention Project provides more intensive support to families who are referred to it. The project, managed by Action for Children, delivers 6-month programmes of support to families identified through housing related antisocial behaviour.
Raising Achievement for all Improving standards and outcomes for Early Years and Primary Provision for early years has grown and the increasing proportion of early years settings inspected as good or better, reflects the improving effectiveness of targeted support and training opportunities to early years settings. There is now no inadequate early years provision in Hackney. In 2008 there was a significant improvement of 4% in closing the gap for the lowest 20% of pupils at the end of the Foundation Stage, demonstrating the impact of the strategy put in place following recommendations in the 2006 Joint Area Review (JAR) of childrens services. Key Stage 2 has been one of our key priorities for improvement and in 2008 we saw accelerated progress in performance. Performance at level 4+ in Maths and English combined at Key Stage 2 puts Hackney in the top 5 local authorities for improvement in 2007-2008 and in the top 10 for the period 2005-2008. Our English, results were up 2%, Maths results were up 6% and in Science, results were up 3%. We have seen good progress for LAA target groups of underachieving pupils, with particularly strong, above the Hackney average, improvement across all Key Stage 2 core subjects for Caribbean pupils and overall improvement for Turkish and Kurdish pupils in 2008.
Parenting programmes in Hackney are evidenced-based and delivered by trained parenting practitioners which are available to parents who either refer themselves or are referred by others. The range of group based programmes may change over time as our knowledge of what works improves. Our developing range of programmes includes: Webster Stratton Incredible Years Programme for parents of children 3-8

Hackney has achieved good results at Key Stage 2 for children with English as an Additional Language (EAL) and children with Free School Meals (FSM). Results in both English and Maths show a significant improvement. There has been continued progress in reducing the number of schools falling below DCSF floor targets for both English and Maths, and for English and Maths combined. Schools in a Category of Concern During 2007/2008 there was a higher proportion of Hackney primary schools in a category of concern than similar councils and this was highlighted as an area for development in the APA. 2 of the 4 schools have now been reinspected and rated as good with the other two making good progress. Of the 18 schools inspected in 2008/09 across all phases, 83% (15) were rated by Ofsted as good or outstanding. Improving standards and outcomes Secondary Education 2007/08 The gap between Hackney and national averages at KS3 has been closed rapidly. Hackney was the second most improved local authority in 2007 and these improvements were maintained for 2008. Significant improvements in results have gone hand-in-hand with progress on valueadded measures. For example, Hackneys value added score across the borough for secondary schools continues to be high and in 2007 was first nationally for KS2 to KS3. At Key Stage 4 results have improved for the sixth successive year. We have ambitious but realistic targets to reach and exceed the national average in the next few years. The percentage of pupils gaining 5+ A C GCSEs (including English and Maths) rose to 42.6% in 2008. In 2008 the gap in achievement of 5+ A*-C with English and Maths between those pupils on FSM and those not on FSM across the borough was lower than the national average. However at around 10% we feel the gap is still too large. LAA-funded education interventions and programmes have made a significant contribution to academic achievement, pupils wider achievement and personal development and pupils wellbeing.
What we will do next Key initiatives for 2009/2011 include: Implementation of Improving Standards Strategy which sets out priorities and actions to ensure a high-quality, borough-wide learning entitlement for every child and young person in Hackney. This will be delivered through: Supporting leadership and governance in schools so that they are rated good or outstanding by Ofsted Supporting schools to consistently improve achievement for all young people including vulnerable groups Development of a rich curriculum entitlement including extended school entitlement Provision of high quality school buildings through the implementation of the first phase of the primary capital programme in addition to the regular cycle of asset management works Extend the e-learning study project to years 5 and 10 and implement the electronic PEP forms.

NI 19 Rate of proven re-offending by young offenders NI111 First-time entrants to the youth justice system aged 10-17 Youth Crime Reduction Strategy
Progress in 2008/09 First-time entrants to the youth justice system The number of first-time entrants into the youth justice system was cited as an area for development in the 2008 APA. In recognition of the impact of youth crime on outcomes for young people in Hackney, national indicators for first time offending and for levels of reoffending have been incorporated in the LAA. Provisional outturns for national indicators 19 (re-offending) and 111 (first-time entrants) show reductions on the previous year with a significant reduction in the level of first-time entrants to the youth justice system from 452 to 370. External review: thematic inspection In June 2009 a thematic inspection across the prison service, police and YOTs was held across ten boroughs, looking at themes and practice regarding young people and gangs across the country. In Hackney's case the Inspectors commended the level of commitment and assessed that Strong and mature partnerships exist across the area within the partnership. They were impressed that the Floor Target Action Plan had led to tangible operational services working to reduce the involvement of young people in gangs. The following is a summary from the Inspectors regarding the overall strategy and service delivery: Impressive funding commitment through the LAA. Several substantial works streams funded through this route. Good approaches such as MIT and Operation CURB - Impressive CURB structure, good links and targeting and probably sound performance regime although it is too early to evaluate Safer Neighbourhood Teams (SNTs) have a good knowledge of local gang culture. Good awareness of the issue in the borough and good comprehensive problem profiles of the gang problems Safer School Partnerships well established, however some difficulties reported in recruiting suitable Constables for these positions The LSCB had been kept informed of the assessment of the scope of the gangs agenda the Board approach was to have representatives from agencies who were dealing with gangs issues on the Board and to be kept informed about the ongoing assessment of the scope of the gangs problems in Hackney and on the partnership responses to those issues. The Inspection identified that the most important areas where the strategic partnership need to consider and improve arrangements are MAPPA, links with YOIs, re-housing and supporting young people and families when necessary and a more robust media strategy. Youth Crime Reduction Strategy A Youth Crime Reduction Strategy has been developed, with the full engagement of young people. The strategy sets out a lifecycle of work with young people and their families, from early intervention and prevention to case work with young offenders. The vision is
21
22

to support young people in making the right decisions away from crime and anti-social behaviour and to stop those in the youth justice system from re-offending. We are developing a comprehensive range of integrated services that work in partnership across agencies and sectors to reduce youth crime. The Strategy, which draws on recommendations from recent scrutiny, consultation and research, has been agreed by all partners and a commissioning timetable is in place. We will continue to tackle youth violence over the next year, building on the work we are doing with young people involved in gangs, adopting a wider approach to include gang leaders and siblings. Recruitment for a Youth Crime Family Intervention Project (FIP) is underway, but we are aware that the process of establishing posts my be slow due to the need to recruit highly skilled and qualified practitioners. We have used Multi-Systemic Therapy (MST) and the Intensive Support and Supervision Programme (ISSP) as a safe, communitybased sentencing option that includes a clinical/therapeutic element, as an alternative to custody. Merlin reports. It draws together a range of professionals with access to their home databases to determine which agencies (if any) are already involved with the child and/or family, gather additional relevant information, assess risk and then pass necessary, proportionate, relevant, accurate and timely information in a secure way to the agency that can provide the most appropriate service response. The Triage Unit became operational in June 2009 and brings together the Youth Offending Team, Youth Support Team, Learning Trust Support Services, Childrens Social Care, Police and the Childrens Centres. It currently has has 28 staff rotated from across the partnership and in the short time that Triage has been running, it has dealt with over 600 Merlins (police incident reports). We are already seeing the benefits of a multiagency approach to assessing risk for reported children and their families. A review of Phase 1 of the project will take place in Autumn 2009. In Phase 2 we are intending to extend the unit to include the Primary Care Trust and CAMHS as well as receiving referrals from different agencies.
Development of Triage Unit The triage unit is a co-located intelligence team, responsible for responding to police
What we will do next Key initiatives for 2009/2011 include: Reduce the number of first time entrants to the youth justice system through the implementation of our Youth Crime Reduction Strategy Reduce levels of re-offending by continuing to work closely with families and individual offenders Continue to seek to increase confidence in community sentencing and reduce the level of custodial sentencing Extend the Triage Unit to include the PCT and CAMHS as well as receiving referrals from different agencies

Key Strategies and plans City & Hackney Safeguarding Children Board Annual Plan
Progress in 2008/09
Safeguarding children The City and Hackney Safeguarding Board was reviewed in May 2008 and new governance arrangements were put in place. Whilst we await further guidance from the Government in response to the Laming report, it is a good opportunity to reflect on some of the changes that have taken place following the external review of the Board. The direction in which we are heading is very much in line with current thinking: There is a suitably qualified and independent Chair in place The Board has the appropriate senior representation from partner agencies There are improved resources to support the Board both in terms of professional advice and funding. The City and Hackney Safeguarding Board has completed two Serious Case reviews during 2008 and having effectively applied the learning from the first to the second, progressed from an adequate grading for the first, to a good for the second in Ofsteds evaluation. Hackney continues to ensure all child protection conferences are held on time. Our section 11 audit shows strong commitment from agencies to safeguard children and our partnership working in core groups and conferences is good. A new mental health/CSC protocol and a new conceptual risk assessment tool were both launched this year. Reclaiming Social Work Reclaiming Social Work is a major change programme for the way that children's social care services are delivered in Hackney. Traditional social work teams are being replaced by new social work units that can respond more flexibly to the needs of children and families, reducing bureaucracy and thereby enabling social workers to focus their time on meaningful contact with children and young people. Under the leadership of a consultant social worker, members of the unit (a social worker, a children's practitioner, a family therapist and a unit co-ordinator) work to deliver the service. A full programme of methodological training for practitioners was commissioned in 2008 and will now run annually. The first interim report of evaluation carried out by the London School of Economics and Political Science concludes that Reclaiming Social Work shows an improved approach to decisionmaking in child protection, and improved interaction with families and other professionals and better prioritisation and consistency of care. The programme has already had a demonstrable, positive impact on recruitment and retention, reputation and case work. This has attracted widespread interest at a national, regional and local level. The Childrens Workforce Development Council says that Hackney is ahead of the game.

Hackney Council have invested 2m in family services and preventative measures to keep children out of care. This level of investment has enabled Hackney to establish Rapid Response Units, which provide immediate support, within the hour where necessary, to families at risk of breakdown. These measures have produced a consistent reduction in numbers of looked after children Domestic Violence
The Hackney Domestic and Gender Violence Strategy defines Domestic Violence as: Domestic violence is controlling behaviour involving the emotional, psychological, financial, sexual or physical abuse of adults within intimate or family relationships. It is an abuse of power most commonly perpetrated by men against their female partners and expartners, but it also takes other forms, including abuse within same-sex relationships. On rare occasions it can sometimes be perpetrated by women against their male partners. An average of 65% of DV cases reported in Hackney involve children exposed to violence (Source: Multi Agency Risk Assessment Conference (MARAC)). We recognise that witnessing domestic violence in the home can be traumatic for children and can have a long term adverse effect on their development and life chances. We are committed to delivering a welldefined and effective response to
domestic violence through a Coordinated Community Response (CCR) which makes explicit that no one agency can deal effectively and safely with the effects of domestic violence. Following a review of our domestic violence services a Project Plan setting out a way forward for improvement has been developed and is due to be endorsed by Hackneys Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership, the Safer Cleaner Partnership Board and implemented by the Domestic Violence Sub-group. The Domestic Violence Subgroup will ensure that children and young people are supported and educated by providing the necessary knowledge and skills required to build relationships based on respect and mutual understanding, with shared power and a commitment to non-violence.
Parenting Programmes We will continue to offer Webster Stratton and SPOKES programmes to parents who have been identified as benefiting from these groups. Tell Us 3 Survey 66% of children taking part in the Tell Us survey reported never having experienced bullying at school with 82% reporting never having experienced bullying somewhere else including the journey to and from school. In both cases this is significantly better than the national result. A higher proportion (66%) of young people reported feeling very safe in school than the national average (56%).

26

What we will do next Key initiatives for 2009/2011 include: Continue to implement Reclaiming Social Work Ensure that adult services see their users as parents and deliver services appropriately, with a focus on risk and vulnerable children. Key areas of focus will be mental health and substance misuse. Recognising the impact that witnessing domestic violence can have on childrens development and future life chances and developing a Coordinated Community Response (CCR) approach to domestic violence with a focus on increasing childrens safety and quality of life. Continue to work in conjunction with the LSCB to ensure that all partners fulfil their duty under s.11 of the Childrens Act 2004. Work to date has focussed on statutory agencies, and we now need to expand our work with the voluntary and community sector. Provide more parenting programmes and other evidence-based interventions at an earlier stage to improve parenting capacity where required. Develop a single cross-borough anti-bullying strategy

N1 51 Effectiveness of child and adolescent mental health services
Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) Plan 2008-11
Progress in 2008/09
Effectiveness of CAMHS The enjoyment of good mental health is essential to young peoples overall wellbeing. The effectiveness of child and adolescent mental health services is part of our local area agreement and we have met our target score of 16 out of 16 for 2008/09. CAMHS Plan 2008-11 We have agreed a Children and Adolescent Mental Health Plan (CAMHS) plan, which will inform the development of CAMHS services in City and Hackney up until 2011. The emphasis is on earlier intervention and prevention to prevent harm that may be more serious for children and young people at a later stage. We have begun to establish integrated teams to provide preventative services in schools and childrens centres. Multi-systemic therapy pilots We have been successful in our joint bid to become one of 10 national research pilots to develop a Multi-Systemic Therapy (MST) Team - a family and communitybased treatment programme for young people with complex problems such as violence, drug abuse and school exclusion. Victims of crime team We have also established a multi-agency team to work with young victims of crime. The aim is to provide community-based interventions for young people and their families to promote self confidence, increase self-esteem, develop strategies for dealing with conflict in non-violent ways, promote better communication and to provide a range of group activities. Training programmes In our APA 2008 self-assessment we identified the need to expand training about CAMHS and substance misuse to workers in universal settings and to ensure increased uptake of CAMHS for some communities who underuse the service. We have made progress in both these areas over the last year through our training programmes and a range of initiatives to support black and minority ethnic service users. CAMHS practitioners in universal settings We have expanded the numbers of CAMHS practitioners with more of them based in universal settings. This includes: - A government-funded Targeted Mental Health programme in piloted in primary schools - CAMHS workers attached to our Youth Support Teams - Primary Care Trust (PCT) mental health practitioners working in childrens centres and GP surgeries - Increased support to Special Schools and Pupil Referral Units (PRUs) - A team working at Hackney ARK (our integrated centre for children with disabilities and their families) providing CAMHS support to children with disabilities and learning disabilities. Quality of staff To ensure that our services are delivered by skilled staff, all mental health staff employed by the statutory agencies are working to approved job descriptions, are regularly appraised, and receive appropriate clinical support.
28
29

We have developed a wellestablished CAMHS foundation course and a monthly seminar programme aimed at any professional working with children and young people in the borough. These are delivered by a multi-agency group of clinicians. Tailored training is delivered by the different mental health teams in childrens centres. The School Mental Health Team has also developed an inset training programme to be delivered in schools. We ran 20 parenting groups in 200809 and 120 parents completed the Incredible Years Training Programmes. We have provided more support for children and young people from ethnic minority communities, by developing a number of initiatives targeted at Black and minority ethnic communities, including the Turkish/Kurdish and Jewish Orthodox communities. We have developed a User Participation Plan to encourage greater user involvement in services. Activities include an evening seminar programme for parents and a young peoples task group to help with website development as well as developing links with other young peoples forums, for example in the PCT, the Youth Parliament and the Youth Offending Team Youth Board. A user participation group has been established for specialist CAMHS. We have attained our targets for the reduction of waiting time for specialist services and have systems in place to monitor referrals.
What we will do next Key initiatives for 2009/2011 include: Make further progress in implementing our CAMHS strategy, in particular promoting more effective and earlier intervention with more practitioners based in childrens centres, schools, GPs surgeries and health centres and working closely with the Youth Offending Team and Youth Support Teams. Continue to provide support for children and young people from ethnic minority communities, by strengthening our knowledge of different cultures and having services that are easier for them to access. Continue to ensure that mental health care is based on the best available evidence and provided by staff with an appropriate range of skills and competence. Implement and monitor the outcomes of the pilot targeted teams in schools to establish good practice Continue to increase the knowledge of staff in universal settings of childrens emotional health development and the range of support services available Increase the capacity in the Parental Mental Health Team so that our adult community health teams can work more closely with all other adult and childrens services across the partnership. Ensure that all mental health services are responsive and accessible in line with national targets.

Progress in 2008/09
Every Disabled Child Matters (EDCM) Both Hackney Council and City & Hackney PCT have signed their respective EDCM Charters and we are working towards full implementation by December 2009. We have met the EDCM charter commitments with particular reference to: develop a key worker system. 70 key workers have been trained and this is being rolled out across the borough following the pilot in the south. ensure information is available and given to families. The establishment of the Resource Centre increases the Key Disability register and coordination of timely information to families LAA has a target about services for disabled children. NI54, the new indicator for parental satisfaction, has been included as a priority indicator in the LAA. We are making progress in: improving our knowledge of the number of disabled children in the area and this is built into our JSNA 2008. ensuring that buildings and services are accessible to disabled children and young people. This is being achieved through the Academies, BSF and Primary Capital Programmes as well as Special Access Initiative Funding. 70% of primary schools are fully or partially accessible or have accessibility works planned. The Accessibility Strategy for all schools is being reviewed and expected to be published in December 2009. the community equipment and wheelchair services review of our current provision against the National Whiz Kids service and we are continuing the review of equipment to ensure it can meet changing needs of the disabled population. understanding palliative care arrangements by establishing joint assessments and support needs that meet the needs of children and their families in a holistic manner. Short breaks for disabled children and their families Work continues towards the delivery of the governments Full Service Offer for Short Breaks for April 2011 across both universal and targeted services. The governments Readiness Criteria have been met and the Short Break plan has been to Cabinet for approval to begin the procurement process. Additionality of services has been provided for summer 2009 and evaluation of these services will help develop future arrangements for 2010/11. Consultation and participation The children and young peoples disability forum continues to make a valuable contribution. As part of the development of short breaks a consultation was undertaken by the St Christophers fellowship to find out what disabled children and young people want to do. These views have been incorporated into the plans to develop services. Follow up will be undertaken to see whether the interim Short Break

arrangements has made a difference to their experience of Short Break. The secondary and primary forums have made a video How it is about the experience of disabled children and young people and this is being disseminated across schools and childrens services for use in staff training. The Hackney Families Together parents forum group also continues to make significant contributions to service development, most recently contributing views to our approach to short breaks for disabled children and their families. We used paid parent consultants to undertake a major consultation exercise to inform developments. The development of a communication strategy will ensure that we establish mechanisms to continue the inclusion of parents and young people in conversation about service development to meet the needs of disabled children and their families. NI 54 is part of our LAA. Hackney was one of the local authorities used to pilot the questionnaire about parental perception of services for disabled children. Initial findings from the 30 pilot authorities indicate that the national average scored through the questionnaire was 59 - Hackneys local score was 58, just below the national average. More detailed findings will inform the refresh of our Disabled Childrens Plan which is underway. Update on Hackney Ark 31 services now operate out of Hackney Ark. The new Head of Hackney Ark (tripartite funded) is in post and will coordinate the delivery of services for disabled children and their families following the priorities of the Disabled Childrens Plan and EDCM commitments which includes the groundbreaking key worker development and multiagency referral system. Transition services are being coordinated from the Ark and the appointed Transition Coordinator will embed good practice following on from the Self Assessment Questionnaire and assistance from the Transition Support Programme. Transition week will run in November 09 across the borough to inform young people, parents and professionals of the transition arrangements with the implementation of the transition guide. Disabled Childrens Plan Refresh The Disabled Childrens Plan 2009-12 is being refreshed and will be the mechanism to achieve our vision and priorities for disabled children and their families in Hackney including: the early provision of high quality, coordinated support services (including the expanded short break service) to enable disabled children to achieve their best in all aspects of their life, whilst living in their family home. an effective Transition Service is in place so all disabled young people are in EET when they leave Childrens services particularly those not eligible for adult LD services. disabled children, young people and their parents participate in the development and delivery of all relevant services. a suitably trained and competent workforce that is confident in delivering service to and for disabled children. disabled children have access to all universal services particularly childrens centres and extended school services.

What we will do next Key initiatives for 2009/2011 include: Refresh and implement the Disabled Childrens Plan. In order to meet our EDCM commitments by December 2009: o Continue our programme to make sure that all universal services are accessible for disabled children. o Ensure that staff in universal settings receive disability awareness training and providing training to develop core competency for those staff in specialist settings. o Further increase key workers and develop the key working programme to ensure all families at the point of referral have a lead person to help them navigate the disability environment. o Further develop our forums to increase the numbers of disabled children and parents of disabled children who are involved in service development. Continue to implement the Governments full service offer for short beaks for disabled children and their families, aiming to increase the number of children and young people who access short breaks and ensuring that they have a positive experience. Through our partnership arrangements continue to ensure that disabled young people experience Transition arrangements through a transition plan whether eligible for adult services or not, so that their health needs are understood thereby increasing the numbers successfully placed in education, employment or training (EET).

Progress in 2008/09 Childhood Obesity The 2008 APA identified tackling childhood obesity as an important area for improvement. The rates of obesity amongst school children in Hackney and the City are the highest (16% in reception year) and second highest (24% in year 6) in the country. In recognition of this, childhood obesity is a key priority in our LAA and is addressed in the refresh of our Healthy Weight Strategy which is currently out for consultation. Proposed directional statements in the draft strategy include: Communities in the City and Hackney and those who work in them will share an understanding of what healthy weight is and how to achieve it Everyone will find it easier to buy, prepare and eat affordable, healthy food People in the City and Hackney will be more active as part and parcel of their daily lives and the places where they live, work and learn will help them Parks and green spaces in the City and Hackney will be attractive, safe and wellused community spaces for all residents People will be able to get help to tackle emotional, physical, financial and other barriers to achieving a healthy weight Decisions about the use of public money and other public resources will always be assessed for their impact on the health and wellbeing a review of the effectiveness, including cost effectiveness wherever possible, of commissioned healthy weight-related projects in City and Hackney; research into influences and barriers to good health among the Afro-Caribbean community in the London Borough of Hackney; a review of the use and non use of parks and green spaces in City and Hackney.
We are promoting opportunities for healthy living through a variety of innovative approaches, including work on estates to engage local people in promoting the preparation of healthy meals and in getting active. We have refurbished nine community halls on Hackney estates in 2008/09 so that people can be trained to cook well and have opportunities to be active. An additional ten refurbishments will be considered following the evaluation of the first nine in 2009/10. Our Play Pathfinder project will provide 28 new and refurbished play spaces in parks and on housing estates and four refurbished adventure playgrounds. 12 playground refurbishments were completed in the last financial year. We recognise that tackling childhood obesity is a major, long-term challenge and the results will not be immediate, but there is a high level of take up of current healthy weight initiatives for children and their families and the most recent National Child Measurement programme data for 2007/08 shows a moderate reduction in the prevalence of obese
The following reviews and research have been undertaken to inform the development of the strategy:

and overweight children in Reception and Year 6 in City and Hackney. NI 198 (about how children travel to school) is part of our LAA and our efforts to encourage more children and young people to walk or cycle to school have had a significant impact. Almost all schools have now developed a school travel plan. In the nine schools that have had school travel plans since 2005, we have seen a significant increase in the percentage of pupils walking to school from 54% to 69% and a decrease in the percentage of pupils coming to school by car from 23% to 13%. In 2008/09 we met our target for the overall proportion of children travelling to school by car. Healthy Schools Our successful Healthy Schools initiative is being extended to early years settings and childrens centres and we are making good progress against the objectives set down in our new Healthy Child Programme for families and children up to five years of age. With 67% of schools achieving Healthy School Status in March 2009, we have already exceeded our DCSF targets for 2009. The Happy in Hackney programme which promotes healthy lifestyles in early years settings goes from strength to strength. Between March 08 and March 09 we increased the number of settings registered from 66 to 82. In the same period the number of settings achieving the Happy in Hackney standard in healthy eating, physical activity and emotional health and wellbeing increased from 23 to 40. The programme has now been fully integrated into the Early Years Foundation Stage self-evaluation framework. The Happy@Home programme, designed to encourage healthy lifestyles of parents of pre-school children, is established in 20 early years centres up from 10 settings in March 08. The number of parents attending sessions has increased from 140 in March 08 to 207 in March 09. better attendance at antenatal care, fewer emergency admissions for new babies, and fewer women referring themselves too soon to labour wards. We have won a Health Service Journal Award 2008/09 for reducing health inequalities through this innovative infant mortality programme. The judges praised the programme for its rigorous assessment combined with real community engagement. As part of our APA self-assessment in 2008 we identified the need to ensure that systems are embedded to track breastfeeding rates until at least the first review at 6-8 weeks and to effectively target any communities where the rate may be lower. Currently 71% of infants are being breastfed at 6-8 weeks compared to a national average of 50% and 91% of mothers initiate breastfeeding, compared to a national average of 78%. We are making good progress, but more work needs to be done. To this end we have appointed a breastfeeding co-ordinator and developed a working group to improve data collection and quality. A maternity/ breastfeeding website is being developed for families and professionals, which is due to go live shortly, accompanied by a social marketing campaign on the benefits of breastfeeding. 100% of new born babies receiving a new birth visit and 99.7% are offered a hearing screen. We identified the need to improve local maternity services and we are now developing a new Maternity Strategy. Teenage Pregnancy Hackneys Teenage Pregnancy Partnership has been commended consistently as a model of best practice, receiving the National NHS Health & Social Care Award in 2008 for addressing health inequalities. Our whole systems approach has led to a reduction of 26% in the City and Hackney under-18 conception rate compared to a 10.7% reduction across England as a whole. Although the gap between Hackney and national and London rates has narrowed considerably, our rates do continue to be high. The challenges will increase as the rates decline further and small gains will be hard won. We are aiming for a stretch target of a
Maternity and Infant Mortality The first evaluation report, Reducing Infant Mortality Programme: the First Year, shows that the two-year integrated programme, which contains ten distinct projects within it, has led to more breast feeding, earlier booking and
36
37

60% reduction against the 1998 baseline by 2010 which translates to a rate of 31 conceptions per 1000. This requires a consolidation of all activities undertaken under the local strategy by the Partnership in order to meet our stretch targets by 2010. Successful initiatives to increase the accessibility of sexual health and related services, have included a condom distribution scheme and targeted support for young women who have already been pregnant with support to prevent repeat conceptions. Clued Up, one of our peer education projects, and the Christopher Winter Project, which provides Sexual Relationship Education modelling for teachers, have both won national awards. Our teenage birth rate has come down by 51% and is now lower than the national average. Our teenage abortion rate has come down by 8.5% Substance Misuse We have improved the support we offer to young people to reduce involvement with drugs through our Youth Service Substance Misuse Policy and Dealing Management Protocol including: a new post to work with young people involved in local drugs markets. training for front-line workers to identify, intervene and refer young people to support them to exit drugs markets.
What we will do next Key initiatives for 2009/2011 include: Complete the consultation on the Healthy Weight Strategy and continue to implement the actions to address childhood obesity. Continue to improve the effectiveness of our early interventions, including improving the take-up and continuation of breast feeding, more effectively managing maternal obesity and building on the Happy in Hackney programmes in the early years settings and developing further family based programmes in these settings. Aim for our LAA stretch target of 84% of schools achieving Healthy Schools Status by March 2010. Through the Hackney Healthy Schools Programme develop the food4schools strategy to support schools to increase school meal uptake and meet nutritional standards. Continue to encourage more children and young people to travel to school and college by walking or cycling and to take part in sporting activities. Improve the opportunities for parents and children from all communities who are obese to participate in effective weight management programmes. Implement Phase 2 of the Play Pathfinder by March 2010. Ensure that we are taking forward the recommendations in the Governments Child Health Strategy, Healthy Lives, Brighter Futures. Through our successful teenage pregnancy strategy continue to reduce teenage pregnancy rates. Continue to Offer HPV immunisation to girls in school year 8 to reduce the risk of cervical cancer. Continue to support young people to reduce their use of and involvement with illegal drugs. 37

Hackney Youth Capital Strategy
Progress in 2008/09 Developing and expanding the range of services provide for young people as part of the Youth Offer is a high priority for us. Our residents have identified activities for teenagers as the area most needing improvement locally and teenagers hanging around the streets as being a significant problem in the local area (Place Survey MORI 2008/09). We are making good progress and in 2008/09 have exceeded our LAA target for young peoples participation in positive activities. We have also exceeded local targets for accredited opportunities. Our approach ensures that young people in Hackney will have access to a range of generic, community, mobile and specialist provision located in areas of greatest need. This has been driven by young peoples views and needs. We are on track to deliver the political commitment to provide a safe place for young people to go within half a mile of where they live. The strategy considers the need for large, ambitious programmes, such as those supported by Building Schools for the Future and myspace programmes, as well as smaller neighbourhood facilities, particularly in the most deprived areas, including those that can be delivered through the Youth Capital Fund. The strategic commissioning process within the youth service has been highlighted by the DCSF as best practice in commissioning services for young people, and the involvement of young people in the identification of needs, quality assurance and decision-making was particularly commended. The commissioning team and young people were invited to present their work at a national conference on 28 April 2009. In May 2009 the Youth Service received the National Quality Mark for Youth Services and in June 2009, presented at the National Youth Participation Conference in recognition of Hackneys range of innovative practice that places young people at the heart of decisionmaking. The election of the Hackney Youth Parliament in October 2008 was a landmark for our progress in engaging young people in everything we do. We know that we need to improve the way that we communicate the whole range of activities on offer to young people in the borough and to this end we are developing a communications strategy, which will include the re-launch of the young peoples website. The PAYP commissioning round in 2008 awarded 23 new contracts to community and voluntary organisations. The total PAYP spend will be over 5 million, making it one of the largest programmes of activities in London. We have secured just under 5 million myplace funding for Hackneys Youth Hub and Neighbourhood Spokes project. We have procured work to establish young peoples and parents/carers preferred routes to information about available activities and to develop a

marketing strategy. A new website for young people will be launched in 2009. We have exceeded our target for schools achieving extended status and are on track to reach our target of 85% of schools by September 2009. We have 382 young people active in our neighbourhood and youth forums. In October we held elections to the Hackney Youth Parliament and have provided training and support for the successful candidates. We have developed three Youth Ambassadors programmes, including Discover Young Hackney and 2012 Our Youth Opportunity Fund is managed by young people and has awarded grants to over 150 projects We have put in place a programme of youth-led inspections. We have signed up to the London Pledge for Looked after Children and have fully engaged young people in the development of the Hackney Pledge. Young people have developed a young peoples version of the Hackney CYPP. (see appendix 2) Hackney Music Development Trust received a London Philharmonic Award for the production of Confucius Says. Nine Hackney Schools were involved in every stage of the creation of this completely new opera inspired Chinese myths and legends.
What we will do next Key initiatives for 2009/2011 include: We will continue to work to increase the range of activities available for young people as part of the Youth Offer. In a particular we will encourage the development of youth club activities on estates, through schools and other local facilities. This will be underpinned by the implementation of the Hackney Youth Capital strategy and in particular the myplace programme, which will provide easy access to a network of high quality places to go and will involve the full range of partners including the voluntary and community sector. We will improve access to information about all positive activities for young people and their families through the implementation of our marketing strategy. We will ensure that the Youth Offer reflects the full range of activities and providers, and is co-ordinated effectively. We will build on our success to increase opportunities for young people to gain accreditation through their participation in positive activities, which contribute to increasing access to further education, training and employment. We will continue to improve how young people can influence what is happening in Hackney and have their say.

Changing the way we work

Alongside the 8 priorities in Hackneys Children and Young Peoples Plan there are some key changes that we are implementing that we have captured under the heading of Changing the way we work.These concern how people from partner organisations will work together to deliver services for children, young people and their families and how we will plan these services across the borough. 4.1 Commissioning and funding our services
Throughout this plan there are many examples highlighting how the individual agencies have brought together their service planning to provide better outcomes and provision for children, young people and their families and carers. This close joint working lies at the heart of our Childrens Trust arrangements and is a fundamental principle behind the way we work. Commissioning is the way we, as individual organisations and as a partnership service, plan prioritise and fund the services we deliver to children and young people. In the CYPP we said that, by 2010, we will have jointly agreed a new set of commissioning arrangements so that decisions about how services are funded, managed and delivered will be taken as a partnership, rather than individual organisations. Progress in 2008/9 During 2008/9 we have extended the range of joint services to include, amongst others, the Triage Unit. The services delivered by the Hackney Ark have also been developed and have been fully operational as joined up services during the year. From a management perspective we have joined together commissioners from each of the main agencies with others who are responsible for setting Childrens Services policy and performance management. This new Joint Planning Team will assist in co-ordinating the flow of information through our Trust arrangements from identifying need through to planning and monitoring service provision. During the year we have assessed the opportunity to have formal funding agreements in place for some key services. Whilst it is still our intention to have codified the arrangements by 2010, the form of the agreement is likely to be more in the spirit of what we are intending from our service provision than a full statutory agreement due to some agencies not having the power to enter into statutory agreements.
4.2
Changing our workforce
We want to make sure that the people who work with children and young people in Hackney are well-trained and effective at doing their jobs. They should always put the needs of the families they are working with first, and should work together well with professionals from other organisations to find solutions to issues. In order to achieve this, we developed a draft Hackney Workforce Strategy. This sets out our main aims, covering how we recruit people who will work with children and young people, the quality of the training that they will receive, and how people within the statutory, voluntary and community sectors will work more closely with each other to deliver high quality services for children, young people and their families in Hackney. Progress in 2008/09 During 2008 and 2009 we have been working hard to move this forward. We have:

Reviewed our Workforce Strategy Delivery Model to ensure that multi-agency strategic groups are in place, made up of the appropriate people and are meeting regularly to develop and implement our Workforce Strategy. Confirmed our Workforce vision is appropriate and relevant in summary, the workforce vision aims to create an effective, integrated workforce with strong leadership and management skills, offering opportunities for career development. It also aims to deliver positive, and where needed, improved outcomes for children and young people in the borough. Engaged with the Childrens Workforce Development Councils (CWDC) One Childrens Workforce Framework & Toolkit. This has been designed to help children's trust establish the progress made in developing one children's workforce a workforce that is reformed and integrated and making the best contribution possible to local Every Child Matters outcomes and our Children & Young People's Plan. Taken part in a national self assessment exercise run by CWDC to evaluate integrated working practices. Run workshops for practitioners primarily based in clusters A, C and D to raise awareness of Workforce related initiatives and to identify examples of good integrated working practices as well as examples of what gets in the way and what could be done better. Run a conference for practitioners working with children & young people aged over 11 to promote integrated working and to raise awareness of Workforce related initiatives. Raised awareness of Workforce Strategy initiatives across the Childrens Trust leaders and managers through representation at relevant meetings and through delivery of a Workforce themed Change for Children Network. Reviewed our draft Workforce Strategy in light of the governments 2020 Children & Young Peoples Workforce Strategy published in December 2008. Information gathered through engagement with the One Childrens Workforce framework & toolkit has also be used to identified a series of planned activities that will be inform the Workforce Strategys supporting action plan.
4.3
Identifying the needs of families
In the CYPP we said that, by 2010, we will further develop our model for service delivery and we will be using the Common Assessment Framework more widely to assess needs. Progress in 2008/09 Our 14 childrens centres have developed close links with services to support families and regularly provide access to citizens advice, adult education and job centre plus services. There is a volunteering programme to link parents into the world of work and there are developing relationships with housing to support families. GPs are members of our cluster steering groups and regularly feed back to other GPs. We have signed up to the pan-London CAF Protocol which pledges us to ensure that borough boundaries do not affect the service a family receives. We have provided training and awareness raising sessions on the CAF for the voluntary and community sector. We have developed interim arrangements for our Triage Unit to store all CAF 2 information and for CAF 1 data to be stored in childrens centres and schools, while we are awaiting implementation of the E-CAF system in 2010. Our six Strategic Childrens Centres hold fortnightly multi-agency team meetings involving a range of practitioners including health visitors, midwives, family support workers, social workers, speech and language therapists, psychologists and nutritionists and use the CAF

Part 1 assessment form to identify need and put a team together around the family. We plan a pilot system to review the needs coming through the CAF. The Children and Families Strategy Group has agreed to secure funds to pilot a budget holding lead professional to allow more personalisation of services. We have published a guide for schools on commissioning evidence-based interventions to support behaviour in schools. We have commissioned a number of evidence based parenting programmes. All parenting support workers undergo a Training Development Agency approved training programme.
What we will do next In recognition of the importance of the think family agenda we will further develop our strategic-level conversations to ensure that those working in housing and adult services are aware of the need to place families at the heart of service delivery. In addition we will investigate the use of the pan London Notify data base to determine the most effective way of accessing and acting upon information about families in temporary accommodation. Continue with our CAF training programme for the voluntary and community sector. Pilot the budget holding lead professional in Cluster A and in Youth Support Teams and drawing on learning from the pilot determine future action. Extend the successful Reclaiming Social Work model to the Youth Support Teams and the Youth Offending Team to strengthen our preventative services. Continue to develop frameworks for joint arrangements where they improve the outcomes for children and young people or minimise the risk to future service delivery. Chart the total level of resources being deployed on Childrens Services.

Appendix 2 Resource Statement
The effective co-ordination and deployment of resources is essential if outcomes for Children and Young People in Hackney are to be maximised. This includes physical resources in terms of premises (e.g Hackney Ark, Childrens Centres); financial resources; and the childrens services workforce. We have made progress in understanding the breadth of the resources applied for children and young people but have more information to gather. The following summarises the information gathered on our key resources: Premises Resources are deployed over a wide range of premises: 3 Academies (with 2 more opening in September 2009 and 2010 respectively) , 8 Secondary Schools, 53 Primary Schools, 2 Nursery Schools, 4 Special Schools, 4 Pupil Referral Units, 14 Childrens Centres, 110 PVI settings, and Hackney Ark, our integrated centre for disabled childrens services. Financial Budgetary information for 2009/10 is still being consolidated and, therefore, is not yet available for reporting. However, the level of financial resources budgeted in the previous year (2008/9) can be reported: Figure 1: Total Budget for Childrens Services 2008/9 (252.9m) The following chart shows the total amount of identified funding for childrens services in Hackney in 2008/9. It does not include all resources, such as the third sector, as this information is currently not available.
