The Children & Young People's Plan 2008-11

The Children & Young People's Partnership is delighted to launch the Flintshire Children and Young People’s Plan that will cover the period from April 2008 – March 2011.

The Plan, and the actions within it, focuses on addressing the priority areas and meeting the needs of all children and young people. It takes into account every aspect of their lives from pre-natal to 25yrs. It also includes parenting and family issues. These issues need to be addressed through agencies and services working together – no one agency or service can address the priority areas on their own.

The Plan has been developed with contributions from a wide range of children, young people and families, and many of the services and organisations that work with them. In fact, you might have been part of the consultation on the priorities and the draft plan in early 2008.

The priority areas for Flintshire children, young people and families are:
§ Support Parenting
§ Reduction of behaviour and/or conditions that puts children and young people at risk
§ Supporting vulnerable individuals and groups
§ Safeguarding children and young people
§ Raising children and young people’s attainment in learning settings
§ Inclusion of all children and young people
§ Reducing the impact of poverty and deprivation
§ Workforce Development - to maintain a skilled, competent and knowledgeable workforce
§ Information to be more available and accessible to all

The multi-agency Children and Young People's Partnership (CYPP) are leading on the implementation of the Plan. If you are a child, young person, a parent or carer or are working with children, young people or families, then this plan and thr actions within it are relevant to you.
