National Workshop for IT leaders, managers and their senior teams: Effective Cross-Council working between IT and Children’s Services

The LGA would like to invite IT leaders, managers and their senior teams to a virtual learning event with the aim of strengthening cross-council working to achieve better outcomes for children.

There will be two learning sessions as part of this event:

1. You will have the opportunity to explore the value of pro-active conversations between digital and children's services to overcome tensions within the system. You will also hear about a project that Leeds City Council is undertaking in relation to recording and how they are creating a culture that allows social workers to do their role.

2. Following this, delegates will have the opportunity to hear about the system implications of transitioning to a new safeguarding model. This is an area that more and more councils are considering, our speaker has supported local authorities through their journey.

As part of this event, we will be launching some tools and guidance to support IT professionals and Children’s Services to collaborate effectively and further a shared understanding and vision to achieving best outcomes for children and their families. This tool has been developed based on shared experience within the sector.

You will also have a chance to hear about good practice and ask questions.

The session will take place on 13th September 2023 at 10am and will last 1 hour

Once you have registered for the event, Zoom details and the finalised programme will be sent to all delegates.

The cost of attending this event is fully subsidised.
