How we will deliver our One Plan

Gloucestershire’s Children and Young People’s Coalition board will oversee the delivery of this strategy and will hold partners to account in delivering our priorities.

The coalition is rooted in Section 10 of the 2004 Children’s Act which gives responsibility to Gloucestershire County Council to co-ordinate partner activity for securing the health and wellbeing of all children and young people in Gloucestershire.

The Coalition reports to the One Gloucestershire Health and Wellbeing Board and Partnership, and the One Plan aligns to the Integrated Care Strategy and Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy.

The coalition sits alongside the Gloucestershire Safeguarding Children Partnership, with its focus on the effectiveness of multi-agency safeguarding arrangements across the county, the Safer Gloucestershire Partnership Board, and the Children’s Ambitions Board, which drives the continuous improvement in children’s social care. The coalition will take ownership and responsibility for delivering the ‘Living Well’ foundation to this Plan.

Three sub-groups report into the coalition board to drive forward the Starting Well, Growing Well and Being Well priorities of the One Plan.

Coalition members commit to ensuring alignment and advocating for the interests of children and young people throughout the system, including, but not limited to, district plans; voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise sectors; equality, diversity and inclusion strategy; strategic housing partnership; anchors and economic strategy; domestic abuse, early help, SEND and inclusion strategies.

Progress against our priorities and outcomes for children and young people will be evaluated on an annual basis and will inform an annual review of the strategy for its lifetime. This will also enable partners to continue to hold each other to account for delivering improved outcomes for our children and young people.
