This page outlines the work we are doing to support the children and young people's board.
Our ambition is for Leeds to be the best city in the UK for children and young people to grow up in.
To help us make this happen, we are bringing together senior people from the main organisations working with children and young people in Leeds. Representatives from the NHS, Leeds City Council, Public Health, as well as the voluntary sector, make up the Children and Young People’s Population Board. The board will work together to create better health and social care support for young people and their families.
The board is responsible for everyone who is under the age of 18, except for pregnant people whose care is covered by the maternity board.
Outcomes for the children and young people population board
The aims of our children and young people’s population board work in Leeds is to make sure:
- Children are safe from harm.
- Children do well at all levels of learning and have skills for life.
- Children in Leeds are healthy.
- Children are happy and have fun.
- Children and young people in Leeds are active citizens who feel they have a voice and influence.
These are our identified outcomes. By setting these clear goals, that are focused on how services impact the people they serve, the board is able to better track whether we’re really doing the right thing for the people using these services.
Insight review
We have worked with our partners to review the feedback (insight) we already have about people’s experience of children and young peoples services. This will help us understand what we already know. You can read the report below:

Children and young people’s experiences of services
We always want to hear about your experiences of using services, it helps us know what’s working, and where things could be improved.
