Overview
AllChild (formerly West London Zone) improves life chances for the 20% of children most at risk of poor outcomes in this geographical area.
The programme does this by enabling local community resources to work with local schools, and bringing together funding from local authorities, philanthropists, central Government and the schools themselves.
AllChild provides a two-year, personalised and intensive package of support tailored to each child’s unique strengths, needs and aspirations. Each child has a ‘Link Worker’ to guide them through the programme; with the aim being for children to progress in all aspects of life, particularly in wellbeing, confidence, relationships and academic achievement.
In 2020, this programme contract was renewed in four London boroughs, enabling it to continue supporting children to realise their potential and set themselves up to thrive.
Delivery innovations
An outcomes partnership has enabled a much more collaborative, flexible approach to problem-solving. This has facilitated a number of significant delivery innovations, including:
- AllChild is deeply embedded in its local community and has actively listened and thoroughly integrated its approach into the community in which the team operates.
- Building trusted relationships has created additional opportunities: including securing funding to renovate a local play park, having supported young people’s community organising.
- Joint-working with local commissioners has created tangible benefits, such as earlier referrals to Early Help, or Local Authority visibility of new data.
Outcomes
2,800+ children and young people have started the AllChild programme, which provides children with a rich and diverse set of local resources so they receive the best support.
