Description

The SESLIP encourages and supports the political and professional leadership and management of local authority Children's Services, to demonstrate, develop and share good practice. Our programmes support the development of Children's Services as learning organisations, focusing on:
o identifying key strands of enquiry
o analysing and comparing operational data about the services
o using evidence to inform decisions, including evidence available from outside the region, where relevant
o using peer challenge and peer review
o building leadership capacity and capability
o developing standards of practice through supportive endeavour
There is a Regional Improvement Plan which sets out the activities. Its aim is to identify ways in which local authorities in the South East can support each other to improve and look at how collective action can help address systemic issues within the region. ESCC need to refresh the list of suitably qualified freelance consultants, who are available on an ad hoc basis to support one or more of the activities of the programme.
