Every Child Matters in County Durham

Services to children and young people are due for a radical 'shake up' following the publication of the Children Bill in March 2004 which sets out the Government's agenda for the development and direction of Children's Services in the future.

The Every Child Matters in County Durham website aims to communicate how services for children, young people and their families will be integrated and co-ordinated with regards to health, social services, education and local authorities.

Visit the website to find out how in Durham, we have already been working in partnership to modernise our services and how we are determined that the new approach will provide better and more appropriate services, improved engagement with users, and a well trained and flexible workforce to take ownership of the new ways of working that are required.
