Our Children and Families Commissioning Board

A guide to what our Children and Families Commissioning Board is in the simplest terms.

What is the Children and Families Commissioning Board?

The Children and Families Commissioning Board is a 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 applies to the whole system of children's services, covering the work of partner agencies at every level. They are not separate organisations in their own right, each partner retains its own responsibilities, while working together to join up services.

What does the Children and Families Commissioning Board do?

We develop the local strategy for improving children's lives by delivering better services and promote strong joint planning and commissioning of services. We should focus on a number of key priorities, clearly set out in the 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.
