Welcome to the Dudley Children's Trust website which provides information for children and young people who live in Dudley or want to access local services. The site is also for parents, carers and the different agencies and organisations providing services for children and young people.

We want to make sure that this new site develops by responding to your comments and suggestions so please take time to have a look around the site and let us know how we could make it more useful.

Please let us know of any other websites that you think others may like to know about so that we can include links directly to them. Thank you for visiting this site and for any comments and suggestions you make.

The Children's Trust has completed its annual review of the Children and Young People's Plan (CYPP). It
sets out our vision for children and young people in Dudley and how we are going to achieve it.

During 20010-11, the Children's Trust will ensure that each priority in the CYPP has a detailed action plan.  The action plans will set out how, along with our partners, we will improve our performance on the priorities. Our priorities are intended to:

1. improve children and young people's health
2. keep them safe from harm
3. help them enjoy and achieve
4. support them to make a positive contribution to community and environment
5. help them and their families enjoy economic and social well being

Partners within the Trust will work together to provide and commission services for children and young
people. We are convinced that working together is by far the best way to make a real difference to the lives of children and young people.
