New children’s plan gets seal of approval in Gloucester

Representatives from the Gloucestershire County Council, the NHS, the police, the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner and the Voluntary Community Sector Alliance have signed a charter committing to work together to make Gloucestershire “a great place to grow up where children and young people thrive and live lives of choice and opportunity”.

The One Plan for All Children and Young People in Gloucestershire sets out the county’s priorities for delivering this vision and commits to achieving this by reducing inequalities, providing the right help at the right time for all children, creating an inclusive county that celebrates diversity, and providing effective services.

Dame Janet Trotter, Chair of the Gloucestershire Children and Young People’s Wellbeing Coalition, said, “The development of the One Plan has been a true collaborative effort by the agencies and partners dedicated to supporting our young people.

“It is designed to identify and support the young people facing the greatest disadvantages.”
