Balls announces children's trusts legislation
The government has published guidance which is designed to strengthen and clarify the role of children's trusts, following a consultation that ended in September. Balls first announced plans to strengthen the legal status of children's trusts in July.
The announcement will mean that a board consisting of the local authority, health, police, schools and other services will be legally required to work together to agree and deliver a Children & Young People's Plan. The plan will set out a strategy for child safety arrangements and set the framework for the operation of the Local Safeguarding Children Board.
Individual members of the children's trust board will be held to account for delivering their agreed part of the shared plan. Each board will publish an annual review of progress against their plan.
