Starting Well
We want every child to have the best start in life.……..
To do this, we work with the people and organisations who provide services to support babies, children and young people, whether this be in health, local authorities, third sector or communities, to explore where working together can help improve the experiences of people, better meet their needs and stop difficult situations from getting worse.
We have a delivery plan for every year that sets out what we want to achieve, our priorities for this year are:
- Explore what we can do when we come together across the region to improve the First 1000 Days of every new baby’s life
- Work better together to improve the emotional mental health and well-being of babies, children and young people through our emPOWER approach and embedding the NYTH/NEST Framework
- Make sure there are good working relationships across organisations to support delivery of the ALN reforms
- Understand what is needed to improve the value and appropriateness of placements for children and young people who have complex needs
Our priorities are:
Implementing the whole school approach where everyone has a part to play in supporting children and young people’s health and wellbeing
Creating a regional framework that sets out a standard for delivering services that can be tailored and used locally
Making sure there is a joined-up approach to mental health and emotional wellbeing
Creating regional resources for children and young people with complex needs
Improving support for children and young people with additional learning needs
PARTNERS WILL WORK TOGETHER TO TACKLE SHARED PRIORITIES TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND WELLBEING OF CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE, FOR INSTANCE AROUND MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH.
Adolescent Resource Centres (ARC) provide therapeutic support for young people on the edge of care, delivered through partnership working across the Regional Partnership Board. This trauma-informed, relationship-based approach helps young people feel heard, build trust and improve emotional wellbeing, with families reporting greater understanding, confidence and more positive futures.
