What is Pathfinder?
The pathfinder project is an exciting opportunity to be involved in shaping Early Help nationally. The pathfinder was formally announced in July 2023 as part of the government's children's social care implementation strategy, `Stable Homes, Built on Love¿ and responds to recommendations from the independent review of children's social care and the Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel's report on child protection.
This brings an exciting opportunity for Lincolnshire who are recognised within the sector as an innovative and transformational authority to take the lead in co-design and development of new ways of working. The pathfinder has been created to bring about innovative reforms to Family Help, Child Protection, Statutory Safeguarding Partnerships and in unlocking the potential of Family Networks for children and families across Lincolnshire.
In Lincolnshire we will work alongside key government agencies and local partners including Police, Health and Education within Lincolnshire to support the co-design and creation of a future system where we support families in a new way and develop a stronger multi-agency and expert child protection response. Our work on this pathfinder will be captured and evaluated by the Department for Education, with a view towards wider national sector led improvement.
