The vision of Worcestershire Children’s Services is to enable children, young people and families to achieve their potential in a safe environment so that they can lead successful lives.

This is achieved by ensuring that needs are clearly defined, so that the right services are delivered at the right time by the right people, to the right children, young people and families. Worcestershire achieve this by commissioning based on outcomes at a district level, provision through locality Early Help Hubs and coordination through a central Early Help Hub point of contact.

  ns for service requirements.
• EIF have supported the development of improved strategy and commissioning approaches, through the use of the Early Intervention Maturity Matrix to assess local early intervention system strengths and weaknesses, through support with developing a logic model, and through providing advice on developing a robust performance dashboard.
