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

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.

AGEING WELL
We know how hard it can be to find help when people need it the most. We want to make sure there is community support to help people stay as healthy as possible so they can carry on doing the things that matter most to them.
