To consider progress made in delivering the ambitions and actions relating to the Maximising the Capabilities of Children, Young People and Adults theme contained in the Joint Local Health & Wellbeing Strategy “Equally Well: A healthier, fairer future for North Tyneside 2021-25” and implementation plan.

In November 2021 the Board had adopted a revised Joint Local Health & Wellbeing Strategy (JLHWS): Equally Well: A Healthier, Fairer Future for North Tyneside 2021-2025. The Board subsequently agreed a process through which the delivery of the ambitions and actions in relation to each of the seven impact areas contained in the Strategy would be reported and monitored.

In accordance with this process the North Tyneside Children and Young People Partnership submitted a report setting out the progress it had made as the theme lead in relation to the Maximising the Capabilities of Children, Young People and Adults theme. The report set out details of the actions taken against the implementation plan. The report was supplemented by two presentations which gave further details about all the efforts to maximise the capabilities of children, young people, and adults.

The Board discussed the challenges facing the early years childcare sector and how a diminishing sector may have a detrimental impact on the Board’s ambition for children to be ready for school. In response to questions officers also explained how there was a holistic multi-agency approach to the mental and emotional health and wellbeing of children and young people in the borough, supported by a unique strategic alliance with Barnardos.
