Children and Young People's Plan 2013-2016

The Barnsley Children and Young People's Trust has now published a local Children and Young People's Plan for 2013 to 2016. 

This is a joint three year plan setting out what partners of the Children and Young People's Trust intend to do to improve outcomes for children and young people in Barnsley. It reflects our strong ambition and the strategy and steps being taken to support children, young people and families to achieve their potential

Our 365 leaflet sets out very simply the vision, priorities and outcomes from our children's plan. We've also produced a young people's version of the 365 leaflet working with a group of our youth councillors,
