The 2020-2023 Children’s Trust Plan – refreshed from 2017-2020, has Six Priorities. This Social, Emotional and Mental Health Strategy has been elevated into a stand-alone Strategy, whilst retaining critical links to the other five Priorities in the Children’s Trust Plan.
The full six priorities are:
- Improve education outcomes – the Education Strategy
- Improve early help and safeguarding – the Safeguarding Strategy
- Improve physical health – the Physical Health Strategy
- Improve Social, Emotional and Mental Health – the SEMH Strategy
- Improve outcomes for children in care and care leavers – the Corporate Parenting Strategy
- Improve outcomes for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities – the SEND Strategy
In addition, the Children’s Trust Plan 2020-2023 has a ‘strategic spine’ – five areas that all strategies needs to progress:
- A ‘deal’ with parents: a social contract with families and co-production
- The Portsmouth Model of Family Practice: restorative and relational Practice which is trauma-informed and whole-family
- Strong Organisations: Excellent Workforce: leadership development, restorative organisations and high quality professional development – training and coaching
- Performance and Quality Management: using data well and learning from front-line practice
- Community capacity building: enabling the community and the voluntary sector to meet need
- Tackling racism: ensuring all communities can access services and support
