The Children and Young Peoples Partnership - Update on
Current Situation
As some of you will be aware, the implementation of the
Social Services and Wellbeing Act led to the introduction of the new Powys
Regional Partnership Board in April 2016; which combines the partnership
responsibilities previously held by the Health & Social Care Integrated
leadership Board and the Children and Young Peoples Partnership. This has led
to a need for various changes in partnership arrangements and groups which is
ongoing.
Also, this period has seen the creation of a new grouping,
the Children's Services Transformation Board. This is a purely PCC body (albeit
one to which some partners are invited) that has oversight of changes to
internal service arrangements by PCC Children's Services.
Whilst the work initiated and supported by the Children and
Young Peoples Partnership has continued during this time, the Partnership
itself has not met for some months. This is because proposals for new
arrangements are currently being developed by Partnership officers for the
future role of the Partnership and/or its functions. PAVO anticipates that
these proposals will be tabled for consideration at the next meeting of the
Regional Partnership Board on 16 December 2016.
The Children and Young Peoples Partnership has over the
years performed a valuable role in developing a multi-agency approaches and
practices to address the needs of children and young people and PAVO considers
that it is essential that any new or revised arrangements allow this approach
to continue and to be strengthened.
Once the proposals for new partnership arrangements are
shared with the Regional Partnership Board PAVO will be seeking your views and
response to them.
