Summary

Common language offers a series of interrelated concepts and a set of resources, including practice tools, training, data sources and a service-development method. It was created specifically for children's services and seeks to reduce impairment to children's health and development. The common language operating system was developed in two phases. In the first phase, a method for achieving a better match between the needs of children and services received was applied in numerous local authorities and children's services agencies, mainly in the United Kingdom. In the second phase, the method evolved to cover all children and incorporated a more detailed and sophisticated set of procedures for using the data to help improve outcomes. The common language operating system can be driven by policy-makers in service systems or by the community. Common language involves providing concerted support for practitioners implementing the services developed or adopted through the process.
