The Childrens Plan

• Services need to be shaped by, and responsive to
  children, young people and families, not designed
  around professional boundaries.
• By locating services under one roof in the places
  people visit frequently, they are most likely to
  find the help they need.
• We will invest in new school buildings,
  particularly looking at how to make space for
  different childrens services to be brought
  together in one place so families can access them
  more easily.
