Birmingham Children’s Partnership - Who we are
Birmingham Children and Young People’s Partnership includes the Council, NHS, Police, and Birmingham Voluntary Service Council (BVSC), and we work with the education sector, the wider public sector, the private sector, and with our families and communities.
We believe in the power of relationships. Our plan is about building and sustaining good quality relationships with children, young people, their families, and communities. It’s about compassionate, inclusive leadership, and forging effective collaboration between professionals.
As a partnership, we are committed to combining our skills and resources across organisations and sectors to better understand and tackle the issues across our city.
Together, we will build trust and overcome deep-rooted challenges.
Together, we will lead a collaborative learning approach to make real system change happen.
Together, we will make Birmingham a great place to grow up for all our children and young people.
