Some overarching challenges
• Cost to LCC of high and increasing rate of CLA
• High NEET rate at county level and particularly high in certain districts who also have high CLA rates
• Risk of NEET high in Lancashire:
– Very low proportion of CLA achieving expected standard in Reading, Writing & Maths at end of KS2
– CLA school absence rate higher than national average for CLA
– Rate of CLA higher than statistical neighbours
• Research shows poor intermediate and life trajectory outcomes for children in care - and also those with CIN and CPP designations.
• Research showing that educational outcomes can remain poor once children leave care if family resilience and health functioning remains challenging.
Social Care Perspective of Edge of Care Service
Operational, targeted areas and challenges
Vicky Gent and Chris Coyle
Operational overview
• Childrens Social Care in Lancashire is organised into three distinct localities, Central, North, and East. Within each locality there are districts.
• Three districts in Central, Preston West Lancs and CSR.
• Two districts in the North, Fylde and Wyre and Lancashire
• Four districts in East, Pendle Burnley HRV and Rossendale.
Social Care Perspective of Edge of Care Service– Operational, targeted areas and challenges
• Lancashire as a whole is an area with high rates of CLA.
• As of Nov 2018 Lancashire Look after 2069 children.
• This equates to a rate of 83/10,000
• The national average is 64/10,000
• Consequently there are an additional 470 children are in our care than if we achieved the national average.
However there is significant variation in the 9 operational districts of Lancashire
Fylde and Wyre rate of 51/10,000 of Children Looked After Burnley has a rate of 129/10,000 of Children Looked After

Locality Variations
• East have accommodated a higher percentage of Children in the 0-4 age group
• North accommodates a higher percentage of 10-15 year olds
• Central accommodates the highest percentage of 16 plus children.
• However within each locality there is also distinct district variation. For example the high number of primary age children accommodated in Pendle
There are though key similarities
• The majority of children and young people enter the care of the Lancashire due to issues of neglect and emotional abuse
• Areas with the highest levels of deprivation as identified in the English Indices of Multiple Deprivation 2015
• Deprivation is strongly correlated to Child Abuse and Neglect (JRF 2016)
• Does the relatively high rate of Home Placements in Lancashire link to this?
Challenges
• Increasing CLA in Lancashire is a significant challenge
• There is clearly a concerning cost issue as a result
• The demand of increasing CLA shifts resource away form effective preventative work.
• More importantly the increasing demands on staff makes it hard to achieve positive outcomes for children and young people
• Increasingly difficult to source appropriate placements for these young people especially those aged 13 to 16
• They make up a smaller proportion of those accommodated however they are the young people we have least positive impact upon for the highest spend.
Currently Edge of care offer in Lancashire is not fully developed.

Standards of achievement in Lancashire: Overall summary
Overall standards of achievement are good, but with known areas for improvement.

• White British, boys, FSM, SEND, CLA
• Early language, communication, reading.
Education Endowment Foundation: January 18
The attainment gap 2017
Data from the Education Policy Institute (EPI) shows how disadvantaged children fall further behind as they progress through the different phases of their schooling.
• At the early years phase there is a 4.3-month gap between disadvantaged children and their classmates;
• this more than doubles to 9.5 months by the end of primary schooling.
• By the end of secondary schooling it has grown to 19.3 months.
• At age 16 the average Attainment 8 (attainment across 8 GCSEs) score of disadvantaged pupils is 41.1, compared to a score of 53.3 for all other pupils. Lancashire: 35
A third of eligible children nationally – those from the poorest 40% of society – don’t currently take up funded provision at age two and a tenth of poorer families don’t take up their entitlement at age three.

Chosen Procurement Process
Competitive Procedure with Negotiation
• It is intended that the Council will not specify the interventions to be used. known as a ‘black box’ approach, which is one of the ways in which a payment by results contract can be designed:
Encourage innovation
Optimum choice if proven interventions for the desired outcomes and
target cohort
• Therefore we intend to use a procurement process which will involve the option to negotiate tenderers proposal to improve and refine their content.
• More information about the negotiations will be published in the tender documents

Bidding Model
Think about your organisation’s bidding strategy?
The Council will only contract with a single legal entity
• Are you considering to bid alone (as a single provider)?
• Are you considering to form a consortium?
• Will you need a Social Investor?
• Will you bid as a Special Purpose Vehicle?
• Are you considering/reliant on a subcontracting arrangement?
Consider:
• As part of the tender process you will be required to submit a copy of the agreement between consortium members/service provider(s) – social investor
• Start planning early
Simultaneous Competition
Where a Tenderer is affiliated to more than one bidding model for example;
• Consortia,
• Subcontracting arrangements,
• Special purpose vehicles,
• or as an Individual Tenderer,
then the Tenderer is under an obligation to ensure that such arrangements do not detract from its ability to service the Contract.
LCC’s Consortium Exchange
Lancashire County Council would like to make it easier for suppliers to form consortia with a view to bidding on any tender process.
What is the Consortium Exchange?
• An open on-line directory for like-minded organisations to share their contact details.
• The opportunity to work together is available to suppliers of any size and any type including SMEs, large business, voluntary, faith, third sector or social enterprise.
• To have your details added, just reply to us at the email below with the following details:
– Your organisation's full name; contact person, phone number, email and address.
– Your sector of work and a description of the opportunities you might be interested in.
• Your details will be published on LCC’s website, and you can remove them at any time by contacting us at the following email address:
– consortiumexchange@lancashire.gov.uk
Please note: use of the Consortium Exchange is optional, LCC does not endorse any particular bidding model. How you bid is your choice.
