Nottinghamshire Children’s Trust is a partnership of organisations that provide services to children, young people or families in Nottinghamshire. Children’s Trust arrangements enable us to plan and deliver joint working and co-operative arrangements, making best use of resources to achieve our ambition.
We know that children, young people and their families are more likely to do well if they are at the centre of our economic, environmental and social ambitions for Nottinghamshire. To promote this, the Children’s Trust reports to the Health and Wellbeing Board for Nottinghamshire.
The Health and Wellbeing Board will have a key role in the strategic planning and coordination of NHS, public health, social care and related children’s services. By reporting to this board, the Children’s Trust ensures that the needs of children, young people and families influence planning for health and wellbeing improvements across all public services.
The Children’s Trust has an active working relationship with the Nottinghamshire Safeguarding Children Board (NSCB). This ensures that safeguarding children is central to our work. The NSCB co-ordinates some safeguarding activities, including training, and scrutinises and challenges the Children’s Trust’s activities.
Children’s Trusts are no longer required to produce a Children and Young People’s Plan, but we have opted to continue with a joint strategic plan. The new Nottinghamshire Children, Young People and Families Plan 2011 to 2014 is now available.
