Children and Young People's Trust

The Children and Young People's Trust has recently reviewed its priorities and structure to better meet the needs of families in the borough. The board agreed that the focus of their partnership working will be to 'Make it better where need is greatest'. Five priority areas have been agreed following consultation and new priority groups are developing objectives and actions under each of them..

The priorities are:

To keep children and young people safe
Risk and Resilience: To ensure children, young people and families are supported as early as possible
To ensure children are ready for school
To support parents and carers

The Children's Trust website includes information on projects designed to improve the quality of life for local families such as the move towards locality-based services.

It also features a brand new Families' Guide which lists events, activities and services for children and young people aged from 0-20.

Case studies, key learning and resources from the Better Together project (October 2010 – March 2012)

Pentagon Partnership recently published a report outlining case studies, key learning and resources from the Better Together project. Better Together was led by Children England and funded by One North East’s Third Sector Capacity Fund between October 2010 and March 2012; the project aimed to support voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector collaborative service delivery on all aspects of the Children, Young People and Families (CYPF) agenda in the North East of England.

The report has been produced by Pentagon Partnership as part of the evaluation of the project. It gives an overview of the Better Together project, draws out some key learning about collaboration and partnership working, and provides case studies detailing the progress made by the three consortia supported by the project: the All Together Consortium for Children, Young People and Families in Sunderland, the Northumberland Young Carers’ Partnership and the Stockton on Tees Children and Young People’s Consortium.
