Welcome to "Highland's Children" - a gateway to Children's Services across Highland.
In Highland we are committed to improving
both services and outcomes for children and their families. To
achieve this we know that everyone involved with children and young
people need to work together. In Highland these developments have
led to the creation of Integrated Children's Services. Integrated
Children's Services in Highland follows the national framework provided
in "For Scotland's Children". NHS Highland, the Highland Council
and various partner services, including the voluntary sector, work
together to ensure that Services for Children & Families in Highland
promote:
A single service system
Enhanced support to families
Investment in universal provision
- An outcome approach to improved services
The aim for all agencies involved is to ensure that:
"All of Highland's children have the best possible start in life, enjoy being young, and are supported to develop as confident, capable and resilient to fully maximise their potential."

How to use this website:
This website reflects the change in the way agencies work with
children and their families and provides information on how services are
organised in Highland, what service developments are taking place and
what progress is being made. The website is divided into two areas,
Child Protection and Integrated Children's Services. The two links
below will take you to either side of the website. A navigation
bar on the left of the screen in both cases will help you to access
information on Child Protection and Integrated Children's Services in
general.
