Share Street

About Share Street

What is it?

People who work with children and young people need skills and knowledge to work together and do the best job they possibly can. Share Street is an online community of learning designed to help make that happen.

Who is it for?

It's for anyone who works with children, young people and their families. Whether you are a social worker, a member of staff in the early years department of a local authority, a part-time volunteer at a youth club or a police officer supporting a school, you are part of the children and young people’s workforce - and this site is for you.

What can I do here?

You can network with colleagues, share ideas and learn from each other. You'll find documents (in the library), videos (in the cinema) and case studies (in the rainbow) that you can browse, download and share.

You can comment on the items you find, join and start discussions or publicise an event. Share Street is your street, and the central hub for the ever-evolving children and young people’s workforce.

Introduction to Integrated Working
Following the death of Victoria Climbie, the Laming Enquiry and Report recommended new ways of working in children's services to support children, young people and families. These new ways of working are known collectively as "Integrated Working".

The key to this way of working is for practitioners to work together to identify needs earlier, and to put in place a programme of services to better meet the child and family's needs.
This will ensure that children and young people get a better start in life, and meet the five Every Child Matters outcomes:

Be Healthy
Stay Safe
Enjoy and Achieve
Achieve Economic Wellbeing
Make a Positive Contribution

These new processes and systems include:

ContactPoint - The Government have announced the closure of the ContactPoint database.

Information Sharing
