Total Quantity or Scope

Redbridge continues to be committed to realising the potential of the children and young people living in Redbridge and ensuring every child in Redbridge has the Best Start in life and the opportunity to Grow Well. The Best start in life is a broad term used to describe the development of children from conception to age 5 which lays the foundation for lifelong emotional and physical wellbeing. Growing Well is a term used to describe the development of children and young people ages 6 -12. For every child to achieve the ‘Best Start in Life’ and grow well ready and prepared for adulthood, a multidisciplinary approach must be adopted. The 0-19 service is an evidenced based service commissioned in the context of national policy, guidance and legislative framework and local strategy. The service will strengthen the programme and improve the outcomes for children, young people, and families. Under the terms of the Health and Social Care Act 2012, local authorities are responsible for improving the health of their local population and are key commissioners and hold an array of statutory duties for children, including: • establishing arrangements to reduce child poverty; • promoting the interests of children in the development of health and wellbeing strategies (joining up commissioning plans for clinical and public health services with social care and education to address identified local health and wellbeing needs); • leading partners and the public to ensure children are safeguarded and their welfare promoted; • driving the high educational achievement of all children; and • leading, promoting and creating opportunities for co-operation with partners to improve the wellbeing of young people; • Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of looked after children; • Providing or commissioning oral health improvement programmes and oral health surveys to improve the health and wellbeing of children and young people.

Renewal Options
