Statement from DCSF schools at the heart <strong>of</strong> the ECM agenda -<br />
• Centrality <strong>of</strong> learn<strong>in</strong>g – enjoy<strong>in</strong>g and achiev<strong>in</strong>g<br />
Important contributions to<br />
• Health<br />
• Safeguard<strong>in</strong>g<br />
• Positive contribution, and<br />
• Economic well-be<strong>in</strong>g<br />

What will MASTs look like<br />
They will :<br />
• Focus on early <strong>in</strong>tervention and prevention<br />
Talk<strong>in</strong>g with<br />
staff<br />
• Be built on current effective practice locally<br />
• Look different from one area to another<br />
i.e. be responsive to local need<br />
• Be area based<br />
• Be managed rather than co-ord<strong>in</strong>ated<br />
MASTs <strong>in</strong> place<br />

• Have a range <strong>of</strong> relationships with<br />
other agencies, sectors and tiers<br />

How will they make a difference<br />
Immediately<br />
• Children, Young People & Families will only have to ‘tell their story’ once<br />
• Local partners, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g schools, will have more <strong>in</strong>fluence over the scope<br />
and level <strong>of</strong> local services<br />
• Pr<strong>of</strong>essional support will be brought together more effectively<br />
• <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> capacity<br />
• decrease <strong>in</strong> time spent....<br />
Over time<br />
• Pr<strong>of</strong>essionals will develop a deeper understand<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> the needs <strong>of</strong><br />
Children, Young People & Families <strong>in</strong> their areas<br />
• Improved co-ord<strong>in</strong>ation and target<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> support<br />
• Reduction <strong>in</strong> need for more acute services.
