Childrens Trust

Childrens Trust Blackpool Children’s Trust was launched in 2006 with a key aim to bring together the work of all the agencies and partners in Blackpool who have a responsibility or interest in improving outcomes for children and young people.

The Trust has now established itself at the heart of services for children and young people and works closely with the National Health Service, Lancashire Constabulary and many other agencies to find ways to support children and families in the town.

The Trust aims to break down the barriers that can get in the way of helping children, young people and their families. 

The Children & Young People's Plan is the key strategic document for the Trust.

Blackpool Young People’s Council have established their Shadow Board 'Blackpool’s Light' to monitor progress of the Children & Young People's Plan and link to the work of the Trust.

The Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children and young people and Blackpool Safeguarding Children Board coordinates and ensures the effectiveness of their members in safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.

All of the agencies in Blackpool Children’s Trust work in partnership to provide integrated, high quality services to children and young people. 

The Children's Trust focuses on five outcomes that children themselves have identified as important to them and which the Government has embodied in the Children Act 2004.
  • Be healthy – enjoying good physical and mental health and living a healthy lifestyle;
  • Stay safe – being protected from harm and neglect and becoming able to look after themselves;
  • Enjoy and achieve – getting the most out of life and developing necessary skills for adulthood;
  • Make a positive contribution – to the community and to society and not engaging in antisocial or offensive behaviour;
  • Achieve economic well-being – not being prevented by economic disadvantage from achieving their full potential in life.
The Children & Young People's Plan contains 10 PRIORITIES for improving the above outcomes for young peope in Blackpool. These ten priorities have been endorsed by the Children's Trust.
