I understand from one LA that Networks can be turned into an agency but they have to have 2 things in place:
they have to be the LA's own model and not the Pacey Children Come First model and they must be open to ALL cms.
Recently many LAs have abandoned the CCF model and started their own and all of a sudden the network became accessible to all cms.....has your done just so? and has your network suddenly become accessible to ALL cms where before it was for the selected few??
is there a connection there that we cms should investigate?
Are these LAs likely to want to set up agencies and have they actually shown an interests? ..I know of 2 who have: they both set up their own network and it is now open to all cms and both are asking for info from the DfE
I hope that cms realise that an agency 'could' be setting up near them and that it could be their own LA...what we need to do is find out
Please can ALL cms who are worried about this issue join and become proactive...we all need to do our little bit, however, small
Write or call you EY team and ask them
as you know pacey have asked cms to email them if cms know of any LAs setting up agencies ...
I also think pacey should start asking questions not just issue briefings to LAs about the dangers of agencies
Pacey should be in a very good position because they would know if thei CCF networork has suddenly been abandoned by any LA..
