The
North Lincolnshire Children’s Board was established in September 2004 to enable
local organisations to:
-
work
together more effectively
-
deliver
better outcomes for children and families
-
oversee
the development of the Children's Trust Pathfinder service areas and;
-
prepare
the way for a Children's Trust from April 2006.
The
board, chaired by the designated lead member for Children's Services, Cllr Tony
Gosling, is accountable for all joint planning, commissioning and provision
for children and young people in North Lincolnshire.
It
includes the council, local health services, Connexions, probation and the police,
Fire and Rescue Services, the Learning and Skills Council, VANL (Voluntary Action
North Lincolnshire)and schools representatives.
A
Children’s Board Executive Group, chaired by the service director for Children,
Strategy and Partnerships, was created to manage the partnership work streams
for the board.
The
Executive Group consists of the main commissioning partners from the Children’s
Board. The board and the Executive Group discuss and make decisions about the
way that services for children and families are developed and delivered in North
Lincolnshire. They make sure that all local services are pulling together to
deliver the best outcomes possible for local children.
