Consultation process

Consultees

Plymouth, Cornwall, Devon and Torbay Council; South West Forum and a wider group of community and voluntary sector organisations; young people via Young Devon.

Reason for inclusion in Forward Plan: To work in partnership across the south west peninsula to introduce a new therapeutic intervention to reduce the likelihood of children entering the care system. This intervention could be funded through social investment.
