Children and Young People’s Plan 2011-14

In 2005 the Welsh Assembly Government issued its ‘Rights to Action’ Guidance (on the Children Act 2004) which set out what had been achieved by Partnerships throughout Wales and outlined a national approach to develop policy, improve services and demonstrate the difference made to children and young people’s lives.

The Partnership is keen to hear from everyone in Bridgend, and particularly children, young people, parents and carers. Please click to download the Children and Young People's plan 2011-14.

Audit of Needs & Service Profile

This Audit of needs has been produced by the Bridgend Children & Young People’s Partnership, incorporating information provided under the Bridgend Health Social Care and Well Being Needs Analysis. This document builds upon previous audits of need therefore providing an outline of the current position, therefore it is a working document and a key task will be ensuring that the information is regularly up-dated.

The service profile is currently being developed as a database. This will eventually provide partner agencies with information on all children and young people’s service provision according to age group, geographical area, provision type and the tier and dimension of need being met.
