Ms Jill McCanney:

Yes, all the time.

The Deputy asked what we have learned so far. Something we have learned in recent years relates to the data. Until more recently, it was more about qualitative data. We have been looking at how to capture more quantitative data to show more sensitive outcome measures. We have developed and are currently piloting inventories with parents, professionals and the children and young people involved. Those inventories are carried out at the start of our ten-month period and again at the end to enable us to capture where we are making an impact and where we can make further impacts. A really key part of that is keeping the child-centred model but including an increasing focus on child-led practice. We are learning that we need a child-led model integrated very sensitively into the existing model, whereby we capture the voice of the child or young person and then feed that into their learning goals. A colleague came back last week from a continuing professional development, CPD, opportunity with some very good examples of how we can capture the voices of children and young people and get them to set the goals for themselves that we will then incorporate into their learning support plan. We want to ensure we have that child-led model whereby their voice and what is important to them is really encapsulated in the model. We certainly are learning and evolving all the time but what has stayed the same is that model and that learning support plan.
