This provides the legislative foundation for radical changes in the whole system of Children's Services including a shift from intervention to prevention , and for services working more effectively together with a revised inspection regime for schools and local authorities. The Act sets out a duty to co-operate and a leadership role for local authorities to bring together local partners through children's trust arrangements.
Programmes of study support activities are an effective means for partners to collaborate to achieve the five outcomes of Every Child Matters. Heads of Service and others should be clear about the contribution that study support makes to the delivery of a wide range of different priorities - for example health educational achievement. Study support should therefore be included in policy and service delivery plans. Evidence of the impact of study support, together with associated judgements, may then be used in the Annual Performance Assessment and the triennial Joint Area Review.
