May 6, 2009 - The Yorkshire and Humber Lead Members Network
In conjunction with the IDeA we planned and hosted a national induction day for all new Lead Members for Children's Services and have developed an induction template for use by new Lead Members and prepared by DCSs.
Some comments from the independent evaluation highlight particular successes:-
- The Yorkshire and Humber Lead Members Network is acknowledged as the most successful network in terms of outcomes and indeed numbers of Lead Members participating.
- The project has promoted the value and importance of the Lead Member role.
- The project has strengthened the collective voice of Lead Members in the region.
- The project has been able to facilitate considerable learning for Lead Members which in turn has supported them in their role.
- The project has identified and met a wide range of the learning needs.
