‘Destination Unknown’ was devised to improve support for vulnerable young people leaving care and specialist education to ensure they can reach their full potential. This successful campaign by @WA_Comms has earned a spot on the 2020 #CIPREXCEL shortlist!

CSDG’s members are still struggling to obtain PPE for staff and careers looking after vulnerable children in our care.

@CSDGofficial @HouseofCommons My pleasure to play very small part in launch. To repeat myself - if Government followed example of @CSDGofficial & listened to constructive advice/suggestions then #careleavers may fare better. Imp lesson for forthcoming Ind Review of Children’s Care System. #ECLCM @ResCareTo21

And that's a wrap from our panel event - be sure to read the report on our website!https://t.co/CvRvt79oAd #whatworks

[CSDG @CSDGofficial]

The best local authorities will have children directly feeding in their experiences says @timloughton #whatworks

[CSDG @CSDGofficial]

Next Q - should lives and experiences come before outcomes? It covers a different, not end-all focused, way of thinking #whatworks

[CSDG @CSDGofficial]

.@julianlegrand says that the type of organisation does affect the outcomes for the child and it is important to get it right #whatworks

[CSDG @CSDGofficial]

Next Q - What does modern commissioning look like with a multitude of providers?

[CSDG @CSDGofficial]

There is a lot of mileage in residential schools for those in care says @timloughton #whatworks

[CSDG @CSDGofficial]

Commissioning must be considered even when we are not talking about outsourcing says @julianlegrand

[CSDG @CSDGofficial]

Community engagement process important says @WoodClaudia as there is not a single set of outcomes for everyone #whatworks

[CSDG @CSDGofficial]

Next Q - how can we get better in local authorities for commissioning for outcomes? #whatworks

[CSDG @CSDGofficial]

. @timloughton - there is a problem with the quality of Ofsted. Shortage of good social care inspectors & too education focused #whatworks

[CSDG @CSDGofficial]

. @timloughton - sustainability is key. Some authorities tick various boxes to leave special measures, but do not change culture #whatworks

[CSDG @CSDGofficial]

. @WoodClaudia -a break with the past is vital to fostering a new culture, but getting reform entrenched takes years of planning #whatworks
