Children and Young People's Strategic Partnership (CYPSP)
The Children and Young
People's Strategic Partnership (CYPSP) brings together
a range of agencies, including voluntary and
community sector organisations, that aim to
improve the lives of children and young people in Northern
Ireland.
Previously, despite best efforts, everyone who worked with
children and young people provided services separately. This led to
a waste of resources and created problems for the service
users and their families. The CYPSP aims to plan and provide
services for children and young people more efficiently, by making
joint decisions about what services are needed and funding them
together.
Importantly, the CYPSP emphasizes a rights-based approach to its
work. This means planning services which uphold the rights of
children and young people, and encouraging them and their parents
to actively participate in the process.
