16. Each standard has a “maturity profile” against it – for example on the first standard this is the maturity profile Standard Score 1 - We have no clear agreement about what is needed to move forward Score 2 - We do agree what is needed, and have begun to move forward Score 3 - We are making progress towards meeting the standard Score 4 - We are making very good progress towards meeting the standard Score 5 - The standard is fully achieved across the Children’s Trust Specific questions to consider further Section A. Commissioning Governance and Framework 1. We are clear and agreed about the outcome priorities we need to deliver for children, young people and their families in our area. There is little or no agreement between partners across the Children’s Trust about the outcome priorities for children, young people and families, or about the areas that it particularly needs to focus on. The Children and Young People's Plan has little influence over the planning priorities of partners. Partners have agreed that they need to improve practice in this area. There is agreement about the outcomes the Children’s Trust particularly needs to focus on, but more work is needed to secure the evidence behind them, or to translate them into effective commissioning plans. The Children’s Trust Board is clear about outcomes needed for some parts of the population, but not clear about others. There are only a limited number of plans for service improvement and redesign. The outcome priorities identified by the Children’s Trust are based on good evidence. Outcome priorities and improvements are clearly defined, agreed by all members. These priorities consistently drive commissioning and service development agendas for all partners. Does the Children’s Trust need to be clearer or more rigorous in the Children and Young People's Plan (CYPP) about the outcomes that it is trying to achieve? Are there particular population groups (e.g. Looked After Children (LAC), 5-11 year olds, or a particular locality) which The Children’s Trust needs to focus on in more detail? Can you show how commissioning has improved outcomes for these groups or localities? Is the CYPP compliant with recent national guidance?
