Children and young people board

The Children and Young People Board has responsibility for Local Government Association (LGA) activity on the wellbeing of children and young people, including education, social care and careers.

Board objectives:

• Articulate and promote a powerful strategic role for local government to achieve better outcomes for children 0 to 19.
• Secure maximum support and flexibility for local government to deliver the radical change agenda for children and learning.
• Consolidate the role of local authorities in joining up services (public-private-voluntary) in localities on behalf of children, young people, their families and the local community and promote an integrated local government offer on youth services (in collaboration with the Safer Communities Board).

Dates of the meetings of the board in the 2012/13 cycle are shown below.
