What are Children and Young People’s Services Committees?

Children and Young People’s Services Committees (CYPSC) are county-level committees that bring together, around one table, the main public and not-for-profit agencies and organisations providing services to children and young people in a county or across two counties. Their role is to enhance interagency co-operation and collaboration, improving local service provision and support for children and young people in their area.
