If your group works with children and young people this is the page for you. News, events and links important for the work you do. The biggest development likely to affect your work is the new Every Child Matters agenda.
Every Child Matters is a structure for the delivery of public services to children and young people. It will have a huge impact on voluntary and community groups that work with children.This part of our website aims to keep groups informed about the Every Child Matters agenda and about events which help the voluntary and community sector to stay involved.
For detailed information about how the Every Child Matters initiative is being pursued in County Durham please go to the Every Child Matters in County Durham website. A key page within that site is its Online Resource Directory, a listing of County Durham organisations offering services to children and young people. Get your organisation added to that list by filling in a simple form online.
For information specifically related to voluntary and community sector involvement in Every Child Matters, go to our Every Child Matters mini-site, set up to provide an online forum for members of County Durham's Children's and Young People's Community of Interest.
