Children and Young People Network

A network for staff and volunteers from CVSF member organisations working with children,young people & families. Participants share information and good practice and support Forum representatives on CYP issues. The Network is a key point of contact for partnership work with the Brighton and Hove Children and Young People's Trust (CYPT).

We now have 28 elected representatives on 23 CYPT partnership groups including ten area based Extended Services Cluster Groups.

We are currently focussing on representing the sector around developing the children's workforce, safeguarding children and the next (2009-12) Children & Young People Plan. To support this work, we are conducting two surveys which can be downloaded below.

The CYP Network meets bi monthly. Regular emails are sent out to network members with information about opportunities for funding, training and consultation. There are about 140 CVSF member organisations in this network.
