Children, Young People and Families Centres

A lot of work has taken place since the review of Children, Young people and Families Centres which concluded in July 2014. We have implemented a new model and way of working that we hope will best meet the needs of you and your families with a particular focus for our families who need more support. There is still plenty to do with opportunities to make changes but there is a clear vision in place with a number of areas for development. These include:

• Developingacitywideapproachinourprocessesanddeliveryofservicesto ensurethereisthesameofferandapproachforallfamilies.

• Involvingourcommunitiesworkingalongsidethemandleadingonprojects.
