Purpose

To
consider a report regarding the Families First for Children Pathfinder.

Content

That the approach to delivering the Families First for
Children Pathfinder, as set out in the report to People and Health Overview
Committee of 17 October 2023, be approved.

 

Reason for the decision

 

Participation
in the Pathfinder programme was a huge opportunity for Dorset to shape the
national transformation of children and families strategy and policy and to
ensure that Dorset Council was well placed to implement these policy changes
when they were rolled out nationally. 
Department for Education funding would be made available and would be
used to support the required change.
