Section 2: Organisational Structure Section 2: Organisational Structure Cafcass delivered services to families and the courts from over 100 sites throughout our ten English regions during 2006–07. Currently there are 10 regions: Eastern, East Midlands, Greater London, North East, North West, South East, Southern, South West, West Midlands and Yorkshire & Humberside. Our management structure is likely to change during 2007–08 as a result of our need to focus more resources on frontline service provision. More work needs to be done on the structure before the complete set of roles between local teams and senior management can be decided. In the interim period, all senior managers will have agreed portfolios, building on what they have been doing in 2006. As far as possible, we will place an emphasis on business continuity, to reduce the level of change and uncertainty. We will be continuing with our Head of Service programme, to create specific posts where these are needed. We will be going ahead with recruitment to new permanent Heads of Service posts in London, Birmingham and a small number of additional sub-regions. Frontline service delivery across the regionally managed network of offices is supported by a small National Office, which provides corporate strategy, service leadership, performance management and resource management. Operational aspects of strategic functions such as procurement, human resources, and training and development were successfully devolved to the regions during the course of the 2006–07 year. North West North East Wast Midlands Yorkshire & Humberside East Midlands Eastern Given the scale of change, a small national change team will be established for one year, to ensure developments are managed coherently.
