How can effective cross–sector partnerships be created?
Below are the key thoughts contributed to the discussion "How can effective cross–sector partnerships be created?"
Do we know who to approach?
- Which organisations?
- Who within these organisations?
- Who wants what?
- What do looked after children need?
- Wider community knowledge needed
- Local authorities have different barriers
- Identify barriers/obstacles first and then work out how to overcome them
- Buy in with individuals at all levels is a challenge
- Vital to know what’s ‘on offer’ from schools and local authorities
- The child’s need is key
- Inclusion is important – including young people and hearing their voice
- Different boroughs have different opportunities – they are not the same nationally, or even across boroughs within London
- Are all opportunities being accessed?
What support is needed?
- More information is needed!
- Information needed from bridge organisations from ACE (e.g. Artswork for the South East)
- Information directories are being built for different local authorities
- Info can be obtained from the Youth Music project search and also from the Music Mark website.
