BREAKOUT 1: Addressing Child Poverty (13.45 – 15.00)

Pre event questionnaires Responses from eight CPPs and already had info from another 5 from healthy start event in Oct Also responses from a number of national orgs A number of strategic people and planners rather than practitioners People are in different places of their journeys – some just starting out, others have started testing Focus on two main issues, but child poverty has a wider scope: what might this mean for us?

Aim for LS6 Remind ourselves about the approach The model for improvement The model in practice – experience from colleagues involved in planning and testing Co-ordinating our approach (day 2) Driver diagrams – overall and for specific parts Agree a way to share our learning The start of Shadow Sites?

Understanding your data Context - where are you starting from? What will better look like? What do you know about the people and places you are working in that will help you to understand the data? What you think [will make a difference] is based on what you know [about the situation] Prediction in your PDSA is based on your prior knowledge.

How was it for us? Success and challenges: Data – working with lots and having to develop your own How do you move from measuring process to impact? Engaging with teams, management and senior leaders Scaling up: making it happen and managing the process.

How are we organised? Graham and Helen – discussing how we work when we have lots of data and the challenges of defining your test with very little (Healthy Start focus) Craig and Michele – facilitating discussion on benefits and income maximisation Marsha – facilitate discussion on other areas of work to address child poverty (generational cycles, gender and employability)

BREAKOUT 2: Addressing Child Poverty Joining up our work (11.10 – 12.25))

Building on what we learned yesterday What are we working on? Can we map this across Scotland? Are there any gaps that we should be thinking about? Example – healthy start driver diagram (draft 1!)

Context: National child poverty strategy A number of logic models relating to child poverty Not an early years focus – EY seen as an input into the logic model to support better outcomes Organised around three main headings: Pockets, Prospects and Places Does this give us a starter for a driver diagram?

Our first task Discuss the aim In your tables, take 10 minutes to discuss an appropriate aim for Key Change 7

Our next task Discuss the primary drivers In your tables, take 10 minutes to discuss the appropriate aim for Key Change 7, based on the aim we have just discussed.

What might this look like? Improved money/benefits advice targeted to high-priority populations Increased uptake of benefits: define specific aim Improved uptake of Healthy Start vouchers ( 90% of eligible families will be in receipt of HS benefit entitlements by March 2016 Healthy start driver diagram Our income max driver diagram here

Splitting into groups Group 1: to continue with the work on a national driver diagram for KC7 Group 2: to consider a driver diagram for income maximisation Group 3: how do we communicate and share our learning as part of a key change learning network (shadow sites?) Extra option – process mapping exercise.

Next steps Essentially we are starting to develop a network of shadow sites Healthy Start now have a folder on the extranet – join the group to share work etc HS also considering getting together between learning sessions to co-ordinate activity Support will be provided by one of the new national IAs as well as IAs working locally What do you want to do next to support this work?
