PACE is a Quality Improvement programme, aiming to reduce drift and delay in permanence planning for looked after children. These webinars were recorded in the spring of 2020, so please be aware that key changes in legislation, guidance and practice may have occurred since this time.  \nWelcome to the Timeline How To webinar.  \nI'm Carol Ann Anderson, data analyst at CELCIS, and I'll be walking you through a practical example in how to create a timeline.  \nIn today's webinar, we will cover what is required to create a timeline, a reminder of what a timeline is and what it looks like, some top tips, and a practical demonstration on how to create a timeline, and finally, a summary of what we have learned.  \nTo create a timeline, you'll need access to Microsoft Excel. Also, you will be given access to the following documents:  \n􀁸 The How To document, which is a written version of what we will go through today.  \n􀁸 The Excel template which you will complete to create a timeline.  \n􀁸 An example sheet, this is helpful to share if you will be completing the timeline on behalf of a colleague.  \n􀁸 And information sheet for XY Labeler, should you require to download. I’ll explain a bit more in the presentation about this.  \n􀁸 Child shadows, which you may find useful to enhance your timeline. These will be displayed at the practical demonstration.  \nIt's important that you're proficient in the use of Excel, so not opening Excel for the first time. Whilst the How To document provides a step by step guide, experience of Excel functionality is essential.  \nThe Excel template has been created for Excel version 2013 onwards. If you have an older version of Excel, some of the functionality required is not available in the older versions. The main issue identified is the lack of labels, the labels will appear as cell range and will not display the information you type. However, the resolve is to download XY Labeler. A document about XY Labeler has been included with the associated webinar information. Asthe computer or laptop you're using is linked to a network, you may require permission from your IT department to download the XY Labeler.  \nA timeline is a visual display of information, a picture paints a thousand words.  \nPrior to compiling a timeline, you have to decide what information you want to display. It's important to remember that this may not represent the whole picture; that is a child’s whole care experience, but something significant at a particular time. These visual displays can very quickly become over complex and cluttered, which will result in the message being lost.  \nSo the first thing is to decide what information you want to display. To aid this part an example sheet has been provided, to allow you or a colleague to collate the information you want to display in your chart. The timeline is a visual, so keep the details precise and use a minimal number of words. Finally, it is important to remember who your audience will be - social worker, children's panel member, court? So think about the written information being displayed. For example, have you included acronyms? If so provide a key. This will ensure all readers can interpret the information displayed.  \nLet's get started on the practical example. Please note for this demonstration, I will be using Excel 2016.  \nTo start you'll need to open a copy of the timelines template which is in Excel. Note the worksheet has three tabs, for the purpose of this demonstration, there's a fourth one. However, please note, when you receive a copy of the template there will only be three tabs at the bottom. These being: placements, the second tab is key events, and the third is print pictures, which will be the completed timeline chart.  \nThe first thing we need to do i","cbCairwh4xeAYCuH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairwh4xeAYCuH","pdf",187864,8,"English","# Introduction\n## About the PACE programme and timeline purpose\n# What you need\n## Supporting documents and Excel version requirements\n# Timeline design principles\n## Choosing information and keeping it readable\n# Practical demonstration\n## Preparing tabs and entering placement data\n## Selecting chart data","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of a timeline in the PACE programme context?\",\"answer\":\"The timeline provides a visual display of key information to reduce drift and delay in permanence planning for looked after children.
