‘Destination Unknown’ was devised to improve support for vulnerable young people leaving care and specialist education to ensure they can reach their full potential. This successful campaign by @WA_Comms has earned a spot on the 2020 #CIPREXCEL shortlist!
CSDG’s members are still struggling to obtain PPE for staff and careers looking after vulnerable children in our care.

Delighted that our campaign with @WA_Comms ‘Destination Unknown: leaving no young person behind’ has been nominated by @CIPR_Awards for Education Campaign of the Year. #ciprexcel

@CSDGofficial @HouseofCommons My pleasure to play very small part in launch. To repeat myself - if Government followed example of @CSDGofficial & listened to constructive advice/suggestions then #careleavers may fare better. Imp lesson for forthcoming Ind Review of Children’s Care System. #ECLCM @ResCareTo21
In Parliament this evening for the launch of @CSDGofficial’s report on improving transitions for care leavers and young people with SEND. Great to see @barnardos’ very own Brenda Farrell quoted in the report. Thanks to @timloughton for chairing such an important discussion.
Thanks to @lgcplus for covering our latest report on transitions support. Read the report here: csdg.org.uk/2020/02/26/des…

And that's a wrap from our panel event - be sure to read the report on our website!bit.ly/2em556J #whatworks
The best local authorities will have children directly feeding in their experiences says @timloughton #whatworks
Next Q - should lives and experiences come before outcomes? It covers a different, not end-all focused, way of thinking #whatworks
.@julianlegrand says that the type of organisation does affect the outcomes for the child and it is important to get it right #whatworks
Next Q - What does modern commissioning look like with a multitude of providers?
There is a lot of mileage in residential schools for those in care says @timloughton #whatworks
Commissioning must be considered even when we are not talking about outsourcing says @julianlegrand
Community engagement process important says @WoodClaudia as there is not a single set of outcomes for everyone #whatworks
Next Q - how can we get better in local authorities for commissioning for outcomes? #whatworks
. @timloughton - there is a problem with the quality of Ofsted. Shortage of good social care inspectors & too education focused #whatworks
. @timloughton - sustainability is key. Some authorities tick various boxes to leave special measures, but do not change culture #whatworks
. @WoodClaudia -a break with the past is vital to fostering a new culture, but getting reform entrenched takes years of planning #whatworks
