Younger Doncaster
Review of Younger Doncaster
The changing partnership environment in Doncaster and increased expectations from government has led Younger Doncaster to review its effectiveness and fitness for purpose. The review has been done over the past year and is now complete.
Work has now started to set up the structure of Younger Doncaster and set out how the partnership will work.
What is Younger Doncaster
Younger Doncaster is Doncaster’s Childrens Trust. It was established in July 2005 under the name of the Children & Young People’s Partnership Trust with the strong commitment from partners to work together to ensure positive outcomes for the children and young people of Doncaster.
The role of Younger Doncaster is to improve outcomes for children and young people in the borough by:
Developing shared priorities and plans, and ensuring the development and implementation of a single Children and Young People’s Plan.
Promoting the active involvement of children, young people, families and communities in the development, delivery and evaluation of services.
Building a framework for pooled budgets and joint commissioning for children and young people’s services.
Ensuring that quality is monitored and maintained in all areas with a view to continuous improvement.
Promoting partnership working in the delivery of services for children and young people across the borough.
Commissioning and seeding good practice in integrated service provision.
Overseeing the implementation of the Every Child Matters Change for Children Agenda.
The Younger Doncaster Board is committed to a preventative approach, which aims to deliver services that address the needs of children and young people before they reach crisis point, and to the provision of high quality services for all children and young people who need them.
Members of Younger Doncaster come from the key groups and agencies concerned with children and young people, including the Youth Council, Schools, the Council, Health, Police, the Voluntary and Community sector and other key stakeholders.
