The brief

Swindon Borough Council (SBC) Children’s Services is currently projecting a significant overspend which presents a material risk to the Council’s Medium Term Financial Plan (MTFP).

At the same time, the Council has an established Children’s Improvement Plan and a range of service, workforce and practice reform activity underway.

Previous external support has generated recommendations but has not resulted in: ~Sufficient ownership by service managers and directors ~Clear accountability for delivery ~Robust governance and oversight ~A clear line of sight between service change, improvement actions and financial impact The Council is therefore seeking external support to co-produce a single, integrated and delivery focused plan that aligns improvement, reform and savings activity and can be confidently overseen through existing governance arrangements.
