This framework draws together a number of important findings that form the basis for the 7 key features for childrens social care practice systems using:

• independent evaluation reports from the first round of childrens social care innovation programme projects
• thematic reports
• the final overall evaluation report written by the Rees Centre at the University of Oxford for round 1

It draws upon findings from projects looking to redesign whole childrens social care practice systems, rather than work focused on a specific group of children or issue.

The framework:

• provides an overview of what the 7 features of practice look like on the ground
• provides an overview of the challenges and successes of implementation
• outlines the difference that these features of practice can make to the lives of children and families
• outlines the 7 main outcomes achieved by projects that have demonstrated them

Further information about the childrens social care innovation programme is available.
