Children

Heading 2

The aim is for every child, regardless of their circumstances, to get the best start in life. While overall responsibility for children’s services planning rests with Comhairle nan Eilean Siar and NHS Western Isles, the Children and Young People’s Planning Partnership (CYPPP) works collaboratively and constructively with other members of the Community Planning Partnership (CPP), as well as with children, young people and their families to inform the development of children’s services.

The Public Health team is committed to aligning its efforts with the aspirations of Scotland’s Promise, recognising that a fundamental shift is required in how decisions are made regarding children and families.

It acknowledges the necessity of transforming the way support is provided to help families stay together. The primary objective is to ensure that any action taken to address needs occurs at the earliest appropriate time and, where possible, is implemented as a preventative measure to stop needs from arising.

All children, particularly for those who are most vulnerable in the community, and those who require additional supports to keep them safe, should have their needs met.
