It sets out what will be done by all eleven Northern Ireland departments, the Northern Ireland Office and the Northern Ireland Court Service in the short to medium term to deliver on the aims of the 10-year strategy for Children and Young People, launched by the Minister for Children and Young People on 20 June 2006. The plan will be reviewed on an annual basis and updated as necessary. Our overall pledge is to create an environment where all children and young people thrive and look forward with confidence to the future. Delivery on the pledge will be measured by improvements in outcomes.

It was launched by the Northern Ireland Executive in June 2002 but due to the suspension of devolution has been taken forward by direct rule ministers. Local political parties have been consulted at various stages. Extensive public consultation showed that people wanted a more streamlined system of public administration that allows easy access to services, is easily understood, is fair, and has clear lines of responsibility and accountability. They wanted better integrated and co-ordinated services, which could be achieved by organising public services around the same administrative boundaries. There was an overwhelming desire to see wasteful bureaucracy reduced and scarce resources redirected to the front line.

We want those who are doing well to continue to do well. However, there is evidence that despite significant investment by government over many years, there is insufficient progress being made to improve the lives of our most marginalised and disadvantaged children and young people. Some of that evidence is present in the statistics throughout this document. Sun, 01 Jan 2006 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/2428/5471 2006-01-01T00:00:00Z
