Delivering the Children's Plan - Strengthening Children's Trusts: legislative options

Consultation published by The Department for Children, Schools and Families View original »

Following on from the recent consultation on the Statutory Guidance for Children's Trusts on the Duty to Cooperate, which closed on 26 June, this is a further call for views and advice from partners. This discussion document now proposes a number of changes to the current framework for Children's Trusts. This includes requiring all areas to have a Children and Young People's Plan, with extended ownership of the plan to all statutory partners; proposals to strengthen the statutory framework for Children and Young People's Plans through secondary legislation and further clarifying the required content of plans; extending the 'duty to cooperate' to other key partners; and establishing a stronger basis for Children's Trusts Boards. The Department for Children, Schools and Families would welcome comments on these proposals from partners and stakeholders by 31 July to childrenstrusts.legislationdiscussion@dcsf.gsi.gov.uk. However this call for views will not close until 25 September.
