Mapping the 0-5 journey• Developing a system to map all the services and ‘high
level actions’ from all plans contributing to the 0 – 5 journey – from pregnancy to transition into full time school. The system identifies the source plan, and maps the services and actions against:
• Every Child Matters outcomes and aims
• The key judgements and evidence in the Joint Area Review (JAR) Joint Inspection Framework and the Annual Performance Assessment (APA) of Council Children's Services.
Mapping the 0 – 5 journey con’t
• The eleven National Service Framework (NSF) Standards for Children, Young People and Maternity Services.
• The 0 - 5 ‘offer’ – city wide universal services and universal services targeted at disadvantaged areas.
• Identification of additional support to ensure inclusion of all children, identifying the focus group.
• Indicators of need and success, against the 250+ national indicators and any additional local indicators.
