Integrated Children's Plan
For Highland’s Children is the Integrated Children’s Services Plan for children, young people and families in Highland. The plan is linked to all relevant local planning arrangements and aligned with the NHS Health Improvement Targets (HEAT), the Highland Council Programme for Administration (Strengthening the Highlands) and the Single Outcome Agreement with the Scottish Government (SOA).
This is the third generation of the plan - For Highland’s Children 3 (FHC3). The plan is the vision and strategy of Highland’s Joint Committee on Children and Young People. FHC3 focuses on planning and development over the period 2009-2012. The Joint Committee remains firmly committed to the intent of the first Children’s Plan (FHC1 2001–2004) to provide better services through better integrated working to achieve better outcomes for children and families.
The published version of FHC3 provides the ‘big picture’ of how integrated children’s services in Highland plan for and strive to realise our vision 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.”
