20 What do we mean by culture, systems and practice?

21 What do we mean by culture, systems and practice?
Culture consists of the prevailing values both within a service and among individuals working within this service. Systems underpin the key tasks of an organisation. They are the way in which structures, policies, procedures, and protocols, IT systems, and business processes support stakeholders and strategic managers to plan, guide and co-ordinate help for children and families. Practice is the repertoire each service has of working with children and families and with other agencies and practitioners. Putting the child at the centre Taking a whole child approach
