Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 21 Oct, 10:32 · Archive
North Yorkshire Council has launched a three-year strategy to provide earlier help to children and young people.
North Yorkshire Council has unveiled a three-year strategy called 'Little Steps to Big Futures: With You. Your Place. When it Matters' aimed at giving more children and young people in the region earlier help and preventing family problems from escalating.
The strategy focuses on early help, inclusion and ensuring children feel they belong in their families, schools and communities. It draws on local data and feedback from children, families and partner organisations. The council says children in North Yorkshire still face challenges including poverty, health and wellbeing issues, SEND, discrimination and rural isolation.
Councillor Janet Sanderson, North Yorkshire Council's executive member for children and families, said the council wants to transform the way it works so that support is focused on prevention, inclusion and building on strengths that already exist within families, schools and communities. By intervening earlier and working more closely with partners, the council aims for more children to remain safely with their families and to achieve and thrive in their local schools and communities.
