SUMMARY:The role of common knowledge in achieving collaboration across practices
DESCRIPTION:Free co-pro seminar with ASCC – Developing Evidence Enriched Practice programme \nThis seminar will outline the practical application of three key processes in effective co-production partnerships with a focus on children’s services.  \nThis seminar will be led by Professor Anne Edwards from Oxford University who has spent many years working with children’s services in England\, regarding inter-professional learning and practice development. Much of this learning will be transferrable to integrated working in adults’ services. Here is a summary of the subject to be discussed which is highly relevant to effective co-production: ‘Working across practice boundaries on complex societal problems is now commonplace. Yet we know relatively little about what enables it to happen successfully. One analytic challenge for studies of inter-professional work is to understand what mediates collaboration across the boundaries of practices so that what matters for each practice is still in play in the judgements that are made. The argument in this seminar is that attention should be paid to how what matters for each potentially collaborating practitioner is brought to bear on both interpreting and responding to work problems. Using the analytic resources of cultural–historical theory\, three conceptual tools are presented. These tools\, relational expertise\, relational agency and common knowledge\, are the outcome of analyses of inter- professional work in studies in England over the last ten years. They are offered as resources for both the analysis and development of cross-practice collaborations. The seminar will present evidence from three recent studies of creating the conditions for inter-professional collaborations in children’s services to examine the construction and use of common knowledge as a resource for those tasked with service integration. Common knowledge is seen as comprising the motives that take forward each contributing practice. It is woven into continuously contestable organisational narratives. These mediate interactions across practice boundaries and give strategic direction to activities in and across services which are in the process of integration.’ If you would like to know more about this event or book a place\, please contact Isobel Birden at

SUMMARY:A Disability Forum Information Day
DESCRIPTION:Update on policy and practice developments for disabled children\, young people and their families in Wales – a Children in Wales event \nPolicy and practice supporting disabled children young people and their families in Wales across the age range is constantly evolving. This seminar will give you the opportunity to find out how policy is being put into practice in South Wales and will feature the following presentations: \n    \nThe Early Support Programme \nThis is a mechanism to improve the quality\, consistency and coordination of services for disabled children under the age of five and their families. Children in Wales coordinated Welsh Government contract to deliver Early Support in Wales from April 2010 until March 2013.  \nCaerphilly County Borough Council have introduced ISCAN – the Integrated Service for Children with Additional Needs a multiagency service where professionals from health\, education\, children’s services and voluntary agencies work together to provide a service for children and families with additional needs.  \nBeverly Lane\, ISCAN Project Manager and Jane Yendle-Davies\, a parent will talk about the development of the project and its implementation.  \n    \nStatutory Reform and the Individual Development Plan \nThe Welsh Government are planning to replace the statutory framework for the assessment and planning of provision for children and young people with SEN with a simpler\, more person centred and integrated system for children and young people with additional needs (AN). Central to the proposals of Statutory Reform is the development of an Individual Development Plan (IDP) for each child which is proposed to replace the existing statements of SEN. \nTorfaen County Borough Council have been involved with the development of the Individual Development Plan – a web based tool that facilitates multi agency working and supports the integrated planning and assessment process.  \nJayne Dunn\, Project Manager – Future of Statements will give a presentation of the developments so far.  \n    \nTransition to Adulthood for Disabled Young People \nTransition to adulthood can be a difficult time for any young person. Disabled young people and those with complex needs\, may face additional challenges in coping with multiple changes in the services they rely on. Transition key working aims to provide a named person to work with the young person and\, where appropriate\, his or her family to help prepare for\, and successfully move through transition. \nMonmouthshire County Borough Council have been involved with the provision of the transition key working for many years and have supported many young disabled people and their families through the process.  \nMike Logan – Transition Cooperative Lead for Monmouthshire County Council will give a presentation on what has been achieved so far. \n     \nParticipation for Young Disabled People \nEnsuring the voice of the disabled child/young disabled person is heard can be challenging for professionals. ‘Together 4 Rights’ (formerly known as the ‘Young Disabled Person’s Network’) is an all-Wales group of young disabled people aged 11-19\, facilitated by Children in Wales. The purpose of the group is to bring young disabled people from across Wales together to meet new people\, learn about their rights\, improve their self-confidence\, learn new skills and ensure their voice as young disabled people is heard. \nAndrea Storer – Coordinator of the Young Disabled Person’s Network will give an overview of the networks activities in the last few years and will be supported in this by young disabled people who are members of the Network.  \n     \nExtra Bits \nAs well as listening to the above presentations\, each of which will be followed by a question and answer session\, an opportunity will be provided for an information exchange\, which is your opportunity to share any news from your organisation with those present. This can include celebrating a success or highlighting a barrier or just talking generally about an issue relevant to disabled children and their families. This day is for you – make it yours! \n    \nCOST: \nMembers: £55                     Non-members: £75 \n    \nPlease email
