Social outcomes

We want a system that improves the lives of people with complex needs while creating better value in public service delivery.

An outcomes-based contract to improve lives

In England, 20% of children leave school with no basic numeracy or literacy skills. West London Zone (WLZ) works with local schools to find the children who might benefit the most from its two-year development programme. Children work with a Link Worker based at the child’s school to set personal development goals to build their confidence, relationships, and academic achievement.

WLZ is an outcomes-based contract. The commissioners (Government, local schools, councils and philanthropists) only pay for measurable improvements in the lives of young people.
