Children and Young People's Plans

The Children and Young People's Plans set out the key priorities for developing and improving services for children and young people in the Borough over three years. The Plans are prepared on behalf of the Children's Trust Board by the Borough Council with help from many other partners including local NHS Trusts, Connexions, the Police, voluntary organisations, community and residents' groups, parents and carers, and young people themselves.

This ambitious Plan has at its heart the five key outcomes defined by Government in The Children Act 2004, namely that children and young people should:

• be healthy (physical and mental health, including healthy lifestyle choices);
• safe (from accidental or deliberate harm);
• enjoy and achieve (at school and at play, including experience of sport and culture);
• make a positive contribution (take part in community life and avoid anti-social or offending behaviour);
• achieve economic well-being (improving access to education, employment and training).
