This Framework aims to:
- Set out a clear broad approach for the support that children, young people, their family members and their carers should be able to access for their mental health and wellbeing in their community.
- Assist local partnerships – such as Children’s Services Planning Partnerships (CSPPs) and Community Planning Partnerships (CPPs) – with the establishment and development of new or existing community mental health and wellbeing supports and services.
- Facilitate the creation, enhancement or ongoing delivery of services that can provide support that is innovative and additional to universal services, with a focus on prevention and early intervention.
- Ultimately, improve the lives of children, young people, their family members and their carers through easily accessible community-based support for their mental health and wellbeing.
