Children & Young People's Plan 2016: Shaping services and support for children and young people

Overview

Your views will be used to develop the Children and Young People’s Plan (CYPP) for your borough. The plan sets out what services and support will look like over the next four years.

To help support the early development of this plan a lot of research has been done to assess what are the emerging issues and needs of children, young people and their families. From this research five key values emerged:

1. Keeping children and young people safe and supported at home and school
2. Helping children and young people to be healthy and make good choices about their health
3. Ensuring children and young people enjoy life, do well in school and get involved in activities
4. Providing early help to children, young people and their families
5. Making sure services are right for families and work well

The organisations that provide services and support include the Council, children’s services, health services, the police and the voluntary and community sector.

We would like your views in relation to each of these values. In particular:

• What are the most important issues to you around each of the five values?
• What changes would you like to see in local services and support in relation to each value?

Above all, this consultation is your opportunity to shape what local services and support for children, young people and their families look like in your local area over the next four years.

Have your say and encourage others too.
