Dudley Children's Trust was set up to meet the requirements of the Every Child Matters agenda and the Children Act 2004. It was established in November 2004 (when it was called Dudley Children and Young People's Partnership) and marked the start of a new process to strengthen arrangements to improve outcomes for children and young people in Dudley.
The partnership includes representatives from all agencies and organisations in Dudley, including the voluntary and community sector, who are involved in providing services to children, young people and their families. The strategic board of the partnership meets four times a year and a number of sub-groups also meet regularly.
Dudley Childrens Trust has a complicated structure, with a Strategic Board, Implementation Group, three theme groups by age bands (0-5 years, 5-13 years and 13-19 years) and six cross cutting/short life working groups. Click here to see the structure chart.
