The new Childrens Trust Board will have ownership of the CYPP. How will this work?
We want CYPPs to have more consistency and impact with greater ownership from partners. That means that the Children’s Trust Board will sign off the plan, and all partners will be expected to agree the key strategic actions and who will deliver them. Actions could include joint commissioning, budget pooling and alignment of processes to deliver local priorities. This would mean each of the larger partners, primarily the LA and PCT, committing themselves to providing an agreed level of resource, and the Board, as a whole, calling its members to account for delivering on those commitments. Such arrangements are wholly voluntary and smaller partners will not be expected to commit their resources without their full agreement.
