Decision details

The Children and Young People's Plan (CYPP) is an important element of the ‘Every Child Matters’ reform programme and is a powerful force in driving forward better local integration of children's services and the development of local partnership arrangements.

The Council and its partners have published a CYPP for 2006/09 and this report will present the findings from the first annual review.  The review document will be an evaluation of impact made against the priorities set out in the CYPP and identify key areas of achievement or weakness.  The review document will also aim to build upon the experience gained during Year 1 and refocus priorities on any new or emerging themes

The Executive will be asked to agree the revised priorities outlined in the Annual Review of the CYPP 2006/09

Received a report from the Corporate Director of Children’s Services introducing the review of the first year’s performance against the Borough’s Children and Young People’s Plan (CYPP) 2006/09. 

The Head of Children’s Policy and Trust Commissioning also tabled the draft final version of the formal annual review document “CYPP 2006/09 - One Year On”, which includes an in-depth analysis of the first year’s activities and the priorities and areas of focus for the Council and its partners during 2007/08.

Agreed, in order to assist in improving the lives of children and young people in the borough across the five “Every Child Matters” outcomes, to:

(i)  Endorse the outcomes of the review of the Children and Young People’s Plan 2006/09 and approve the revised vision and priorities as set out in the report and tabled document; and

(ii)  Authorise the Corporate Director of Children’s Services to sign-off the final version of the annual review document “CYPP 2006/09 - One Year On” on behalf of the Council.
