## Description

Current arrangements mean that the contracts for both Health Visiting \(0-5\) and School Nursing \(5-19\) are due to end on the 31st September 2017\. In order to maximise outcomes for local children Reading Borough Council is moving to full integration with Children's Centres and a range of early intervention services and to develop a jointly managed service - achieving integration through collaboration and creating a single service offer for families\. This arrangement will: i\. Strengthen strategic and operational alignment with RBC's Children's Services, securing stronger integration with the Council's Children's Centres and Early Help Services and maximise skill mix based on the available evidence around early intervention and family focussed care\. ii\. Improve opportunities to maximise efficiency and reduce costs at points of delivery e\.g\. reduction of duplication of roles in teams, rationalisation of management costs and building use\. iii\. Improve the chance of reaching early intervention and prevention outcomes due to better information sharing, aligned assessment and referral processes that will identify families for targeted support earlier\.
