Description
|
Consultant with experience working in children's services required for leading consultancy working DCSF.
1The Aiming High for Disabled Children (AHDC) programme sets out investment in specific and specialist services to improve the lives of disabled children and their families, as well as influence change and improvement in the whole system. AHDC also established a national indicator (NI54) to measure parental experience of disabled childrens services to be measured through a questionnaire. The indicator on parental experience of services is a new area of measurement for DCSF and local areas and we are aware that parents experiences may well be influenced by a much wider set of services than those specified for improvement and investment in the AHDC programme. Although the indicator is still under development, 31 local authorities have included it in their LAAs for 2008-09.
We require a consultant to facilitate work with external stakeholders including senior service leads in these 31 local authorities and PCTs to explore how local areas can, or are planning to, influence parental experiences of services in a wider sense and with potential impact on the indicator.
Please send your CV for immediate consideration. |
