Strong moral and political purpose
![Page 6: Welcome to Narrowing The Gap In Luton. Jane Held.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56649e545503460f94b4b987/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
So what are the challenges?
![Page 7: Welcome to Narrowing The Gap In Luton. Jane Held.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56649e545503460f94b4b987/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Poverty (and social class) matters:
• Despite all efforts, UK has one of the strongest links between circumstances into which a child is born (socio-economic group) and their adult outcomes.
• The lower the social economic group, the higher the risk of poor outcomes.
• ‘Poor’ circumstances, leading to poor qualifications, transmits poverty across generations.

…Parental involvement in a child’s schooling is a more powerful force than any other family background indicator such as social class or family size… and contributes to 10% or more of variation in educational achievement…
(Desforges 03)

Schools matter:
Attainment has risen all round.
Teachers recently qualified are best ever (Ofsted).
Class sizes down, absenteeism down,
post-16 participation up.
98% 3 and 4 year olds accessing early years education and quality improving.

Health matters:
Infant mortality falling –
But incidence of ‘low birth weight’ rising and high (11% of total) compared to other developed countries - correlates directly with social class and gives rise to poor health, development and educational attainment.
![Page 15: Welcome to Narrowing The Gap In Luton. Jane Held.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56649e545503460f94b4b987/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

‘Keep the faith’ in Every Child
Matters
Share ‘effective’ practice

Try to answer fundamental question?
What is it, if applied universally and pursued relentlessly, would make a significant impact on the outcomes of vulnerable groups of children and young people?

What do we mean by ‘narrowing the gap’?
The difference / deficit between outcomes for a specific group and the outcomes for the whole range of children and young people, of which the group forms a part

You can do it! (Expect the best)
- creating a culture of high aspirations
- and giving children and parents access to a trusted (dependable) adult
Together with parents
- working in real partnership with parents and families and building on their strengths
- ‘doing with, not doing unto’
![Page 32: Welcome to Narrowing The Gap In Luton. Jane Held.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56649e545503460f94b4b987/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Through the eyes of the child
- making all services more child and family focussed, with adult services more sensitive to their clients as parents and alert to the needs of children and ‘Think Family’
Holding onto the baton
- ensuring as much stability and continuity, as possible, in relationships between trusted adults, with children and parents
- managing those transitions that are unavoidable with care
![Page 33: Welcome to Narrowing The Gap In Luton. Jane Held.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56649e545503460f94b4b987/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
‘Learning to learn’- making the building of children’s resilience a major
policy objective
- configuring education so that it benefits the most vulnerable or disadvantaged, encouraging their participation and giving them lots of supplementary and ‘catch-up’ support
‘Cornflakes to Canoeing’
- taking active steps to make extended services available to disadvantaged children within, and beyond, the school
![Page 34: Welcome to Narrowing The Gap In Luton. Jane Held.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56649e545503460f94b4b987/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Unite to succeed – ‘sanity not vanity’
- deepening the integration of services, systems and processes
- ‘Shape up and keep fit’
- re-shaping the workforce and ensuring it is appropriately trained, supported and celebrated!
![Page 35: Welcome to Narrowing The Gap In Luton. Jane Held.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56649e545503460f94b4b987/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
‘Prove it’ – making change happen
- right performance management systems in place nationally/locally; that encourages focus on improving outcomes of vulnerable groups in particular – shared approaches to this across services, including Health
From good to great – ‘passion with purpose’
- having transformational leadership in place, political and professional (local and national)
- a clear vision communicated well. Planning and processes to back it up and deliver results, including the use of ‘Outcomes Based Accountability’.
