YMCA Cheshire are undertaking a consultation exercise to better understand the experiences, needs, aspirations, and challenges facing young people across Cheshire, with the aim of informing future priorities, service development, and collaborative approaches that improve outcomes for children, young people, and families.

The DfE has launched a consultation on updates to Working Together to Safeguard Children 2026, the Children’s Social Care National Framework 2026, and the policy underpinning Multi-Agency Child Protection Team regulations.

To support neighbourhood delivery models, the 10 Year Health Plan committed to developing new contracts based on population size. This consultation seeks views on two proposed contracting models: a Multi-Neighbourhood Provider (MNP) Contract and a Single Neighbourhood Provider (SNP) Contract. It explains the proposals and asks questions to help us understand the likely benefits, risks and practical implications, including how the contracts would interact with existing arrangements. The consultation is aimed at integrated care boards (ICBs), general practice, Primary Care Networks (PCNs), community and other providers, local authorities, patient representatives and other stakeholders. Patients and members of the public may also wish to contribute to the consultation.
