05: Narrowing the gap: the inspection of children’s services

Areas for improvement and barriers to improvement

The most frequently cited weaknesses are:

For example, poor monitoring and assessment of the health needs of
vulnerable groups, especially looked after children and young offenders,
including screening for substance misuse.
weaknesses in access to CAMHS provision and long waiting times for young
people with both acute and moderate levels of need, and for particular
categories of young people such as unaccompanied asylum-seeker young
people and refugees, and those leaving custody or known to youth
offending services
Also evident are capacity issues in relation to meeting mental health
needs, and lack of clarity among partner agencies about the remit of the
CAMHS and thresholds to access services.

Summary
This report focuses on the outcomes of the children's services
inspection resulting from the first 37 joint area reviews, which began
in September 2005, and the annual performance assessment process
undertaken in 2006. It draws together the findings from across each of
the five Every Child Matters outcomes and judgements of all the
inspectorates that work in partnership to deliver children's services
inspections in accordance with the Children Act 2004.

08: Massive funding cut to the Hammersmith and Fulham Law Centre

Hammersmith Law Centre learned last week that its grant from the local
newly elected Tory council will be cut by 60%.  This is catastrophic and
will severely affect our ability to operate.   We are asking for your
support in the fight to change the council’s decision.  An online
petition has been set up at:
http://www.PetitionOnline.com/HFLaw1/petition.html
Please sign the petition by Monday 16th April when councillors are due
to vote on the cuts!
