We have recently created a new Organisational Development Team to lead the ‘Change for Children’ agenda in Islington.
This has brought together the Workforce Development Team and the Integrated Working Programme so that we can provide more holistic services and shape the future direction for the way services are delivered in Islington. The team is led by Maggie Buckell, Assistant Director for Health and Organisational Development.
Every Child Matters: Change for Children is a new approach to the well-being of children and young people from birth to age 19.
The Government's aim is for every child, whatever their background or their circumstances, to have the support they need to:
This means that the organisations involved with providing services to children - from hospitals and schools, to police and voluntary groups - will be teaming up in new ways, sharing information and working together, to protect children and young people from harm and help them achieve what they want in life. Children and young people will have far more say about issues that affect them as individuals and collectively.
