One Children’s Workforce is the foundation providing support
services to Children and young people in England. The children’s
workforce is undergoing a reform, to ensure it supports the five
Every Child Matters (ECM) outcomes more effectively. There is more
emphasis on early identification and prevention with actions
required at both national and local levels.
The children’s workforce reform will use the One Children’s
Workforce Framework (OCWF) to analyse areas for potential
improvement and then focus on developing those areas to improve the
ECM outcomes.
The framework provides a description of a workforce that is
reformed, integrated and makes the best contribution possible to
both ECM outcomes and the Children and Young People's Plan. The
framework describes the vision all individuals and organisations
working with children and young people within the City of London
should be aspiring towards.
Within the framework, we will focus on Integrated Working
Practices to provide a better service to children and young people
living in the City of London.
Integreated working is designed for practitioners and managers
across all agencies in the City of London who work directly or
indirectly with children from the ages of 0-19, including unborn
babies, and up to 25 years old who have learning
difficulties or disabilities.
