About the Northern Area Children and Young People's Committee

The Northern Area Children and Young People’s Committee was established in 1998.

Statement from the Chair

"Children's Services Planning is a wonderful opportunity to work together to look at the needs of children and to plan to ensure that appropriate services are available in response to those needs. This web site provides another avenue for children, young people, families, communities and professionals to have their views included in the planning process. I hope you find this information useful and would be pleased to hear your views."
