s have demonstrated the delivery of the core elements of the FFCP. The proforma template, designed in collaboration with the DfE, aimed to adopt a structured approach towards collecting information on how case study areas were implementing the FFCP and progress made so far.

There was close alignment with the design specifications set by the DfE, as captured below. (See Appendix 2 and 3 for proforma template and responses received from case study areas) Overarching system- level reform pillar: All minimum expectations within this pillar were either already in place or in the design/planning phase at the time of the proforma completion. Some specific details include: • Communication from senior leadership had already been completed across all local areas, explaining the reforms • While short-term multi-agency case-management and information sharing procedures were already established with partners in 4 of the 6 areas, only 1 area had completed putting in place the long-term measures • All local areas established long-term assurance, governance and audit processes and had updated safeguarding partnership arrangements in place (for the Pathfinder) • All but one case st
