Education - Strategic Partnership for Children, Young People and Families

The Strategic Partnership for Children, Young People and
their Families was established in April 1998 to co-ordinate
the planning of children’s and family services across the City. It now has a broader remit to co-ordinate service planning for vulnerable children and young people. ‘Children and young people’ generally means all those from birth to 19 years of age living in the City. For some very vulnerable groups, young people in their 20s are included.

The Partnership has specific responsibility for the ‘Children and Young People Block’ of the Local Area Agreement, and for monitoring the targets set out in the Education Floor target Action Plan. It is currently commissioning work to achieve these targets drawing down the NRF budget for 2006-08.

The partnership's current members are drawn from the
City Council, Nottingham PCT, and Public Agencies including
the Police, together with the voluntary and community
sector. The current Chair, Di Smith, is Services Director
for Children and Families Commissioning in the newly
formed Children’s Services department. Membership
and terms of reference are now being reviewed so that
the new responsibilities for joint commissioning set out in
the Children Act 2004 can be assumed.
