Our guide to developing local children's trust arrangements.

Based on OPM's own field and development work, and drawing on the DfES draft guidance and national research into the children's trust pathfinders, the book covers:

• Strategy - the development of local children's trust arrangements, focusing on outcomes that meet the needs of children, young people and their families; explicitly acknowledging their roles as co-producers.
• Integrated commissioning - across the partner sectors, including aligned or pooled resources.
• Functional choices - a range that children's trust arrangements could embrace, from those that focus exclusively on commissioning to those that include service management.
• Governance - the role that partnerships can play, including the Langlands good public service governance standards.
• Leading change - the complementary leadership roles that elected and non-executive members and directors of children's services can play.
