What are Children's Trusts?
Children's Trusts are local partnerships which bring together
the organisations responsible for services for children, young
people and families in a shared commitment to improving children's
lives. The term "children's trust" applies to the whole system of
children's services, covering the work of partner agencies at every
level. But Children's Trusts are not separate organisations in
their own right. Each partner retains its own responsibilities,
while working together to join up services.
What do Children's Trusts do?
Children's Trusts develop the local strategy for improving
children's lives by delivering better services. They promote strong
joint planning and commissioning of services. All children's trusts
should focus on a number of key priorities, clearly set out in
their shared children and young people plan.
Our vision
Our vision is simple: to create an environment where children
and young people are safe and healthy. can enjoy what life has to
offer and have ambition and aspirations, where they achieve their
goals and make a positive contribution for themselves, their family
and their community.
