Whole Systems Change -Clear methodological approach to practice supported by investment (time and money) in professional development - flatter, wider, approachable management team - devolved decision making to front line practitioners (matrix of responsibility) - shared accountability for risk and accommodating children - review of back office systems that constrain practice – finance, IT, - robust performance management -Organisational learning – feedback loops
Methodology Systemic Social Work? Social Work informed by Systemic thinking?
2 nd Order Perspective Judging / Doing ‘to’ Collaborating / Doing ‘with’

Service Outcomes and Gains • Reduction in numbers of children in care • Maintaining more children within their families and communities • Some of the best education results for children in care in the country • 50% less sickness (a challenge for Hackney historically) • Confident practitioners • Improved relationships within and beyond the organisation • Happy, enthusiastic staff and managers
