Article: Children and Young People's Plan 2009-12 Article Body The Children and Young People's Plan is the overarching, integrated plan that sets out Barnsley's vision, ambitions, strategy and priorities specifically aimed at improving outcomes for children, young people and families across the borough. It contributes to the council's strategies for Remaking Barnsley and Remaking Learning. The plan is underpinned by the following major strategies: Early Childhood Strategy pre-birth to 11 years Integrated Youth Strategy 11 to 19 years Parenting and Family Support Strategy Health and Disability Strategy The combined actions within the strategies are designed to deliver integrated working at all levels, but particularly at community level through the locality based wellbeing partnerships and teams. The council and its partners - all of those who contribute to the work of Barnsley Children and Young People's Trust, including schools, children's centres, childcare, social services, community health services, hospital services, play and leisure services, voluntary and community sector services - are committed to working together to deliver the priorities outlined in these plans. Barnsley Children's Trust has published its second Children and Young People' Plan, which demonstrates our commitment to children, young people and their families to continue to improve our performance and hence the services we provide. By engaging with and listening to children and young people, their parents and carers, and those who work with them, we are developing a greater understanding of how best to meet their needs and what the gaps are in provision. As well as forging new and improved relationships with children, young people, families and communities, our aim is to work with partners from statutory, voluntary and community sectors to deliver 'joined up' services, wherever possible at a local level, that are fully supportive of families' needs.
