ICS objectives

The aim of the Integrated Children's System (ICS) is to ensure social care services produce better outcomes for children and young people across North Somerset.

The Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) has discovered the failure to record, retrieve and understand the significance of information about children has been central to the shortcomings in children's social services.

As a result, it is calling for the effective use of information and practice through the ICS in order to rectify improve better outcomes for children and young people.

This includes more effective recording of facts and events relating to children's lives and a better assessment and monitoring of their needs and developmental progress.
