TRACS- or the Timeline Route and Certification System- is a digital solution which aims to improve care planning for looked after children and enhance longer term outcomes. The tool was developed by children’s services professionals and technology experts in 2020, focused on supporting local authorities to better meet their obligations to those in care and care leavers around preparing for successful independence. Hosted on a secure cloud platform, TRACS helps professionals and young people to schedule, track and prioritise key activities for completion. This co-produced approach between young people and their worker empowers young people to play an active role in their care and skills development. The tool creates a visual timeline demonstrating a young person’s status and progress, which can be viewed by professionals, management, parents/carers and young people, creating transparency and accountability in the process. Automated email reminders also notify professionals of upcoming activities they need to complete for a young person. It aims to enhance joint working procedures by streamlining the process for updating other stakeholders, meaning young people can be supported to access relevant services or interventions in a more timely manner. On a wider level, the insights derived can inform broader service improvements and highlight key areas of focus for the service as a whole. TRACS is currently being piloted in Southampton over a 6-month period. It is a promising model for using simple technology to improve the experience and efficiency of services for young people at a critical juncture in their journey towards independence.
