Our collective vision for children and young people in North Tyneside is:
Making North Tyneside an even greater place for children and young people to thrive; where all, including those who are vulnerable, disadvantaged or disabled, are ready for school, ready for work and life, are cared for and supported.
Our plan outlines the Children, Young People Partnership Board’s priorities for enhancing children’s services and improving outcomes for children, young people and families, particularly those most vulnerable.
The priorities within this refreshed plan build on the positive work delivered across the partnership in recent years and is based on a detailed understanding of need across the borough, listening to what children and young people tell us important to them. It describes the current strategic priorities of the partnership, including the continued impact of COVID-19 on children and young people, and the services that work with them.
The Partnership’s Multi-Agency Safeguarding Arrangements (MASA) Executive Group, sets out the Partnership’s safeguarding priorities and arrangements for keeping children and young people safe; this refreshed Children and Young People’s Plan 2024-2025 also reflects the MASA’s priorities, as well as supporting the delivery of two themes within the Our North Tyneside Plan; that we are a ‘family friendly’ and ‘caring’ Borough. It also delivers on two key objectives set out in our joint health and wellbeing strategy – Equally Well: A healthier, fairer future for North Tyneside – that children and young people have the best start in life where we maximise their capabilities.
The plan sets out four key outcomes that the partnership wants to deliver for children and young people:
- that they live a safe life
- a happy life
- a healthy life
- and that they are able to achieve in life
These priorities are underpinned by the partnership’s shared principles, that we listen to the voices of children and young people and that we continue to build on our prevention and early help agenda.
