About Organisation
The Feltham Convening Partnership is an exciting new partnership that is bringing together a cross-sector of individuals and groups to make Feltham and surrounding areas the best place for children to grow up.
Children and young people in Feltham have worse outcomes than their peers in other parts of Hounslow, and in other parts of London. The causes of this are wide-ranging and complex, relating to many different aspects of local families’ lives and difficulties. There are a variety of different agencies, services, businesses, organisations and institutions that work with children, young people and families in the local area, or that have a significant influence over their lives. They all have a part to play in improving outcomes for the younger generations locally, and we want to harness their collective power.
The partnership intends to take a ‘holistic’ approach, by which it means it acknowledges that outcomes experienced by children and young people are affected by many different variables (from parenting to what happens to them at school to what kinds of services/opportunities are available to children and young people at various parts of their life, etc). It will therefore need to consider and draw on the experience, knowledge, and expertise of people with different perspectives and professions.
Whilst the scope of this partnership is to help children and young people in Feltham, it is intended that the changes that result should benefit everyone in the ward, regardless of their age.
The Feltham Convening Project aims to achieve its aims by supporting and coordinating the existing system to change from within. There are four central components:
leadership and change delivered at a strategic level by an independent Steering Group.
operational change created by a series of Working Groups, with participants from across the community and system implementing their own action plans.
a shared measurement system, to collect and publicise key indicators of inequalities, and inform better decision-making; and
a light-touch staff, to facilitate these three components, and provide daily leadership.
Our partnership and small staff team are always working to exhibit the following values and principles at the highest levels:
Core Values
Core Design Principles
Inclusion
Shared vulnerability
Commitment
Equality
Collective impact
Grounded in rich understanding of local community
Continuous collective learning/improvement
Nurturing relationships
Commitment to safeguarding
Reach Academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the processwelfare of children and young people.
In order to meet this responsibility all candidates will be subjected to a
rigorous selection process to discourage and screen out unsuitable
applicants.
