Harrow Children's Trust Integrated Workforce Induction
This report sets out the work being undertaken to develop an Integrated Induction for all those who work with children.
Providing an integrated induction for front line staff working with Children in Harrow is in line with the Children’s Trust workforce developments and the framework set out by the Children’s Workforce Development Council.
This framework has been developed via a multi-agency initiative and a working group is taking the 3 elements of the induction forward.

Harrow Partnership Board Annual Report 2008/09
2008/09 has been a significant year for Harrow Partnership Board. We have concluded one LAA, agreed a new one, refreshed the Sustainable Community Strategy, revised our governance arrangements and structures, and created a joint analysis group. All of these achievements are documented in the chapters that follow. Of at least equal importance, however, is the continued strengthening of relationships between partners that enable us to act collectively to provide the services and generate the improvements that Harrow needs.
The connections between services provided by any one of the partner organisations and all of the others have become increasingly apparent. For example, the way in which the Council delivers services for young people impacts on the prevalence of youth crime which, in turn, has implications for health care and, particularly, accident and emergency services. The quality of educational provision and attainment in the borough’s schools affects the demand for further and higher education and the pool of skilled people to take forward Harrow’s economy. The voluntary and community sector’s understanding and representation of different communities in Harrow helps to shape the provision of services by all of the other partners.
The Partnership exists because none of the Partners can do as well on their own. We need each other’s co-operation, support and constructive criticism. We are better able to meet the needs and plan for the aspirations of Harrow people by working together. We work better together when we have common aims and objectives such as those in the new Sustainable Community Strategy.
This Annual Report contains details of Partnership working over the last year and some of the ambitions for the future. What we have already achieved and what we hope to deliver in the future depends on maintaining and growing our shared commitment to improving the quality of life for people in Harrow.
