Narrowing the Gap

Narrowing the Gap is a two-year research and development project which is funded by the DCSF, hosted by the Local Government Association (LGA) and supported by the Improvement and Development Agency for local government (IDeA).

‘Narrowing the gap’, and this project in particular, is concerned with improving outcomes for vulnerable children and those who are most at risk, with a view to reducing the  differences/deficits in outcomes between these groups and children and young people as a whole - whilst improving outcomes for all.

The draft Children and Young People’s Plan for Worcestershire, which is currently out for consultation, identifies areas in which we can ‘narrow the gap’ in Worcestershire.
