Update on Staffordshire Children's Trust
Following the removal of the statutory requirement to have a Trust or a children and young people's plan and the development of the Health and Wellbeing Boards, the Children's Trust Board made the following recommendations at their meeting on 28th March 2011:
- they (the Children's Trust Board) will no longer meet; and
- due to the Health and Wellbeing Board having a 'cradle to the grave' remit, the current Executive Board membership should be reviewed and expanded with direct links into the Health and Wellbeing Board, to ensure the focus and priorities around children and young people remains imperative.
This process of 'updating' the Executive has begun and there will be a period of transition whilst we move towards these new arrangements. It is felt that the current communication channels of the Children's Trust have been running effectively and efficiently over the past several years; so they will be continued during this period of transition, still under the 'banner' of the Children's Trust. These channels include the Children's Trust Monthly Brief, the Acorn newsletter, Children's Trust website to name a few.
We hope you will continue to contribute towards the various updates, and distribute them amongst your colleagues and networks.
