Our priorities for action are to:
- Implement Nottinghamshire’s Early Intervention and Prevention Strategy
- Sustain and build on improvements made in safeguarding
- Improve the effectiveness of services for disabled children through joint planning and commissioning
- Implement the Child and Family Poverty Strategy for Nottinghamshire
- Reduce the achievement gap at all key stages
- Raise achievement at age 16-19 in order to equip young people to enter the workplace, apprenticeships or higher education
- Improve children and young people’s emotional wellbeing.
We have identified these priorities after reviewing the needs of children, young people and families in Nottinghamshire, and considering how effectively we work together to meet those needs.
These priorities are in work areas where:
- there are identifiable improvements that we can make
- coordinated action by our partner services can deliver these improvements.
Our priorities are inter-related, with the implementation of Nottinghamshire's Early Intervention and Prevention Strategy[PDF 756KB]
underlying the achievement of all other priorities. There is also a relationship between our priorities for action and services for children and young people who need different levels of support, as identified in Nottinghamshire’s Pathway to Provision.
The Children, Young People and Families Plan web pages contain overviews for each of our priorities for action. For each priority, we identify:
- why this matters
- what we will do
- when we will do this
- how this will improve the lives of children, young people and families.
