The Portfolio Holder for Children, Young People, Education and Skills, Councillor Richard Burton presented the report on the Children and Young People’s Partnership Plan 2025-2030 and outlined the recommendations as set out on the agenda.

RESOLVED that the Council approved the final content and design of the plan.

Voting: Unanimous

Having a Children and Young People’s Partnership (CYPP) Plan is a statutory requirement of Children’s Services. It is a high-level strategic plan that outlines how to support children and young people living in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole with the aim to improve outcomes for all children and young people. The current plan has come to an end, and this is the new plan covering 2025-2030.

It is an important statement of the partnership’s commitment to BCP’s children and young people. Not only does it set out the priorities for services that support children and young people, but it also defines how partners will work with each other to deliver those priorities effectively.

[PLEASE NOTE: Should the Cabinet wish to discuss the detail of the exempt Appendix at Appendix 2 it will be necessary to exclude the press and public and move into Confidential (Exempt) session]
