Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

The purpose of this strategy is to present what we know about the need for early help, why it is important and what action will be taken to make progress and deliver our vision for children, young people and families in Buckinghamshire. It is jointly produced and owned by the Children and Young People’s Partnership Board and all its member organisations and sets out what we are already doing and plan to develop together in Buckinghamshire to ensure that children and their families get early help when they need it.

Decision:

The Early Help Partnership Strategy for 2022-25 documented what was known about the need for early help, why it was important and what action would be taken to make progress and deliver the Council’s vision for children, young people, and families in Buckinghamshire.  It had been jointly produced and was owned by the Children and Young People’s Partnership Board and all its member organisations.  The Strategy set out what was already being done (previous Early Help Strategy 2019-2022) and what was planned to develop together in Buckinghamshire to ensure that children and their families received early help when they needed it.  The document would steer and enable the priorities detailed in the Strategy to be delivered, while also reflecting the priorities set out by Children’s Services.

 

RESOLVED –

 

(1)               That the achievements made since the Early Help Strategy 2019-2022 was adopted in 2019 be NOTED.

(2)               That the priorities identified for the Early Help Partnership Strategy 2022-2025 be noted, and the Strategy be ADOPTED. 

Details of any conflict of interest declared: None.
