STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

The Children's Partnership Board has been established to drive forward a robust collective response to improving the lives of children, young people and families in Nottingham City.

The Nottingham City Children & Young People's Plan 2010-2014 (CYPP), sets out the priorities to be addressed by the Children's Partnership Board, as agreed by the City Council and its partners. These priorities form the basis of the difference we are trying to make for children and young people in Nottingham City. This difference, a common vision and an agreed work programme will be the shared goal and work of the Board.

All partners are accountable for the delivery of a wide range of services to children and young people in Nottingham City. Some of these can be delivered better where we work together.

The Children's Partnership Board is the vehicle for that joint working. It is not a stand alone employer. It is a partnership vehicle from which different agencies achieve agreed outcomes towards:

• the delivery of their core service
• greater efficiencies and economies of scale
• more accurate information
• targeting of appropriate resource
• access to specialist skills

The result will deliver a more comprehensive and effective service.
