North Yorkshire Children and Young People’s Providers and Partners Group

The group is a multi-agency thematic group focusing on issues facing children and young people, and the challenges and opportunities for the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector responding to the changing needs of growing up in North Yorkshire.

Group members provide a network of people interested in, and with knowledge of, providing services and support to young people. The group exists to bring together colleagues from the VCSE sector, NHS and local authorities.

  • share plans, consultations and provide feedback.
  • identify opportunities to work together and share resources.
