Children & Young Peoples Partnership

Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council has recently established its Children and Young People’s Partnership, building on the membership and work of the former Children and Young People’s Framework Partnership and it’s two sub partnerships, the Children and Young People’s Partnerships.

The partnership is responsible for developing and agreeing the Children and Young People’s Plan, the key strategic statement setting out how the well-being of all children and young people in the area will be improved.

This is intended to:

• Provide strategic vision and state the agreed priorities that will direct the work of all partners;
• Describe how requirements of national and local strategies, policies and priorities will be tackled locally;
• Set out agreed joint objectives for services that can act as milestones to enable progress in improving outcomes to be measured over the planning timescale;
• Identify the contribution made by individual partners towards meeting joint objectives, ensuring that they are consistent and mutually supportive
• Provide a basis for the joint commissioning of services and sharing of available funding, including core budgets of statutory partners and resource or financial contributions from the voluntary sector.

The Children and Young People’s Plan is a 3 year plan commencing September 2008 and guidance on producing a plan has been produced by The Welsh Assembly Government .
