1 Children and Young People s Health and Wellbeing partnership Board Terms of Reference October 2015 Introduction The Children s Trust Partnership includes a range of organisations that have a shared goal to improve the emotional and physical health, education, training and skills of children and young people to enable them to move successfully through to adulthood and employment. The Council and its partner organisations strive to provide excellent services, which support the vast majority of children and young people to achieve successful outcomes; however we recognise that vulnerable and disadvantaged children may require additional support to take full advantage of universal services and achieve positive outcomes. The overarching aim of the Children s Trust Strategic Plan , as agreed at the Children s Trust Board meeting on 8 th September 2015, is to improve outcomes for vulnerable children and young people within a framework of excellent services. The Plan recognises that vulnerable children and young people often have a diverse range of complex needs and dependencies which require services / support from a range of agencies. The Children s Trust Strategic Plan sets out a vision for the Stockport Family of Services and Stockport Family approach, in which the Council and partners work together to ensure high quality targeted and specialist services that meet the needs of each vulnerable or disadvantaged child, young person and / or family in a holistic way. It also requires universal services to work with targeted and specialist services by proactively identifying at an early stage and calling in specialist provision for those who would benefit from extra support. The Stockport Family approach is underpinned by restorative practice, with integrated teams working with children and families to build and repair relationships, understand where families need extra help and develop shared plans. The governance arrangements of the Children s Trust Partnership have been reviewed in order to support the above vision. At its meeting on 8 th September 2015 the Children s Trust Board agreed the following arrangements: - The current multi-agency Thematic Outcome Partnerships will be replaced by three streamlined multi-agency Improvement and Resource Boards: - i. The Education and Skills Partnership Board ii. The Children and Young People Health and Wellbeing Board iii. The Stockport Family Innovation Board The new Boards will take lead responsibility for a thematic area of work, whilst working with the other Boards to identify barriers to positive outcomes which cut across thematic areas, develop /

2 drive co-ordinated strategies and actions which support the Stockport Family approach, and hold each other to account for their role in contributing to cross-cutting priorities and integrated work. The remit of each Board is summarised in the table below. Board Education and Skills Partnership Board Children and Young People Health and Wellbeing Board Stockport Family Innovation Board Remit Strive to provide high quality universal education for all and remove barriers to educational attainment and skills for disadvantaged children and young people wherever they exist Promote positive emotional health, physical health and wellbeing for children and young people Keep children and young people safe from harm wherever they live and target intervention early in the development of a problem to minimise the negative impact of challenging circumstances; and oversee the implementation of the Stockport Family approach Each Improvement and Resource Board will identify priorities for action which align to the Children s Trust s overarching aim of improving outcomes for vulnerable children and young people. Priorities will be evidence-informed, refreshed on an annual basis and delivered through collaborative working with the other Partnership Boards as part of the Stockport Family approach. The three Boards will receive performance data relating to an agreed set of performance measures which cover the remit of the Children s Trust. Performance reports will place greater emphasis on disaggregation of data by vulnerable group and identification of correlations which form barriers to successful outcomes. This information will be used by the Boards to inform the identification and monitoring of priorities and further help to drive collaborative working between Boards. Terms of reference have been developed for the Improvement and Resource Boards to reflect the arrangements set out above. Proposed Terms of Reference To take lead strategic responsibility in relation to promotion of positive emotional health, physical health and wellbeing for children and young people with a particular focus on those who are disadvantaged.
