Clare Children & Young People's Services Committee

The Clare Children and Young People's Services Committee was established in December 2016. 

Vision:

The Co. Clare Children and Young People’s Plan 2019 - 2021 will operate under the following core guiding principles:

  • Enhancing existing work in the area of children and family services in the County
  • Coordinate practice and service provision in the area of children and family services in the County
  • Strengthen and embed existing positive relationships between service providers in the County into standardised good practice
  • Identify gaps in service provision in the County whereby new innovative interventions and/or collaborations could meet those un-serviced needs and advocate for additional needs.  

Clare CYPSC is guided in its work by Better Outcomes Brighter Futures, The National Policy Framework for Children and Young People 2014 – 2020Our work is structured around the five national outcomes for children and young people as outlined in our national framework.

  • Support parents
