Reason for inclusion in Forward Plan: The proposals will rationalise existing resources across Children's and Adult's Services with those in Public Health. It will illustrate how this can be achieved through developments in Children's Services. It will ensure the most effective use of diminishing resources to maximise impact and further partnership opportunities. The proposals will seek to achieve savings in phase one and will bring forward further proposals in phase 2 in the autumn.

Key Risks: A balance will need to be found between the reduction of resources beyond that required to deliver an effective service and the necessary financial reductions required. This will best be achieved by where possible retaining experienced and qualified staff.
