The Children’s Trust comprises an Executive Board and 5 Local Children’s Boards. All partners named in the Children Act 2004 will be included within the Executive Board and/or the Local Children’s Boards of the Children’s Trust. The governance structure is dependent upon the commitment of all partners and agencies, at all levels to achieve joint targets and priorities. All need to work together to develop new ways of working to improve outcomes.
The Children’s Trust is responsible for delivering improved outcomes for children, young people and their families. The Children Act 2004 specifically identifies a number of partners who are legally bound to co-operate and work together with the Children’s Services Authority (CSA) in making this happen. Within Durham, there is a wider recognition that other partners including schools, colleges, communities, GPs and the voluntary sector have a significant contribution to make. Further, the views held by children, young people and their families are vital in developing future services for children and improving outcomes.
