The Children and Families Together Board is where senior representatives of key city partner organisations and young people meet to provide system leadership with the aim of driving improvements in the outcomes for children, young people and their families.

It also reports into Health and Wellbeing Together on shared priorities related to the Joint Local Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2023–2028, with a particular emphasis on the ‘starting and growing well’ outcomes for the city.

Details about the board’s wider responsibilities and membership are found in its Terms of Reference.

The board is committed to working with children, young people, families and all stakeholders to co-design and co-produce solutions to create an environment in our city where children, young people and families are resilient, happy and healthy. As such, the board has adopted a set of principles and promises to ensure young people and families are at the heart of decision making.
