The Leicester City Children's Trust is the top level, multi-agency partnership responsible for the development and implementation of services for children and young people in the City. The Children's Trust is led by the City Council, and the partnership includes NHS Leicester City, Leicestershire Constabulary (Police), and Connexions LeicesterShire, amongst others.

In order for the VCS to be effectively and appropriately engaged with, and represented in Leicester City's developing Children's Trust arrangements, it is important that a robust structure and framework is developed, one that is open, transparent, accountable and accessible and that can also be developed to incorporate the diversity of the sector.
VAL is working on developing such a structure and framework, and requires input from VCS organisations/groups that work with children & young people in the City.

The above event is to discuss and get views and thoughts from as many interested VCS organisations and groups as possible. This meeting is designed for adult participation - however we would welcome participating adults feeding in to the discussion, any thoughts/views from the young people they work with.
