The 10 Core Components of the national Getting it Right programme are:

1. A focus on improving outcomes for children, young people and their families based on a shared understanding of well-being.
2. A common approach to gaining consent and to sharing information where appropriate.
3. An integral role for children, young people and families in assessment, planning and intervention.
4. A co-ordinated and unified approach to identifying concerns, assessing needs, agreeing actions and outcomes, based on the well-being indicators.
5. Streamlined planning, assessment and decision-making processes that lead to the right help at the right time.
6. Consistent high standards of co-operation, joint working and communication where more than one agency needs to be involved, locally and across Scotland.
7. A lead professional to co-ordinate and monitor inter-agency activity where necessary.
8. Maximising the skilled workforce within universal services to address needs and risks at the earliest possible time.
9. A confident and competent workforce across all services for children, young people and their families.
10. The capacity to share demographic, assessment and planning information electronically, within and across agency boundaries, through the national eCare programme where appropriate.

The local Getting it Right Implementation Plan identifies the actions required by all partners to implement the third phase of the programme.

It sets out the detailed programme of change to ensure we continue to deliver integrated services, improve the responsiveness of services, ensure that our services are accessible but more importantly that we better meet the individual needs of children, young people and their families.

The plan identifies how we will take a common approach to assessing and planning with children, young people and their families so that they can be enabled to reach their full potential. It also describes how we will deliver joint training to ensure all partners have a shared understanding of language and practice so that we can work better together with families to improve outcomes for the most vulnerable children and young people.It also sets out how we will know that what we are doing is making a difference to those who use our services.

The impact of early intervention and a more coordinated approach that places the child and their family at the centre of our approach should allow us to demonstrate improved outcomes for children and young people and signs of progress against key indicators.
