Acceptable Behaviour Contract

Acceptable behaviour agreements are written agreements between unruly neighbours, typically teenagers, and the police and other public agencies banning antisocial behaviour. The contracts are not legally binding but if breached they can lead to tougher sanctions. The contracts are used as more moderate alternatives to the tougher antisocial behaviour orders.

The Annual Performance Assessment in Children’s Services is undertaken by OFSTED and measures the contribution of councils towards improving outcomes for children and young people. The APA makes judgments on a four point scale on the following areas: the council’s contribution to improving and maintaining outcomes for children and young people, the council’s overall capacity to improve outcomes for children and young people and the contribution of the local authority’s social care services in maintaining and improving outcomes for children and young people.

Bradford Early Years & Childcare

Bradford Early Years and Childcare promotes, develops and supports high quality

childcare, early education and play provision, offering equality of opportunity and access for all.

Play, early education and childcare are essential elements of achieving the very best

outcomes for children and young people as part of Every Child Matters. BEYC is

therefore committed to the development of fully accessible and inclusive provision and the promotion of the highest quality play, early education and childcare opportunities for all children and young people.

Bradford Early Years and Childcare is responsible for delivering the government’s

10-Year Childcare Strategy and its vision for a Sure Start for all children. Priorities

include ensuring that sufficient childcare is available to meet demand and that free,

part time nursery places are available for all 3-4 year olds. Establishing Children’s

Centres offering integrated services for children aged 0-5 and their families is a central feature of the national strategy. A major focus of the strategy is reducing social disadvantage by enabling parents to access training and work.
