The North West has received grant funding from the Department for Education (DfE) to deliver a Regional Improvement Plan Pilot (RIPP) as part of the Government's Care Reform agenda.

The RIPP is a new approach to Children’s Social Care improvement. It utilises a collaborative decision-making and delivery structure between DfE, the 24 NW local authorities (LA), NW Association of Directors of Childrens Services and multi-agency partners.

The NW Safeguarding Childrens Partnership works alongside the 24 Partnership Arrangements in the North West. The ambition is to support local safeguarding partnerships to meet the requirements of Working Together 2023 and the Care Reforms.

The long-term vision for a self-improving partnership led system, co-produced by local leaders, focused on promoting whole systems thinking. The NW Safeguarding Partnership aims to:

• Better share and build on multi-agency practice that is improving outcomes for children and families.
