The local priorities and planning
Tameside has a three year children and young people’s plan, which is reviewed every year, in consultation with the community. As well as the five outcomes, the priorities for 2007- 2008 are to:
-
Reduce the rates of teenage pregnancy
-
Continue to strengthen support for children and young people’s mental and emotional wellbeing through a comprehensive Children and Adolescent Mental Health Service
-
Continue to raise attainment at all stages of learning with a strong focus on under-attaining groups and schools
-
Improve attendance and inclusion outcomes in targeted schools
-
Increase the proportion of young people moving into education, training and employment
-
Improve children and young people’s health outcomes, including a reduction in obesity and substance misuse, through the promotion of healthy lifestyles
In addition to the above priorities we will:
-
Continue to work hard to reduce the impact of domestic abuse on children, improve the stability of placements for looked after children and ensure that safeguarding issues are kept high on the agenda
-
Develop integrated services for children with disabilities
-
Develop a comprehensive and well publicised range of support for parents
