Our Children's Services Plan is intended to be a driver for change and links together relevant policies and focuses on the better integration and provision of services which have a positive impact on children and young people.
The plan sets out how local services will work together to improve outcomes for children, young people and families. It is developed using local data, evidence and engagement with children, young people, families and partners. This helps identify priority areas where coordinated action will have the greatest impact.
It is produced in partnership with Education, Health, Social Work, Police Scotland, the third sector and community partners. The plan is a statutory requirement under the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014. The plan is underpinned by the principles of Getting it Right for Every Child (GIRFEC).
The Children's Services Plan feeds in to the Community Wellbeing Plan and the Local Outcomes Improvement Plan and links with other relevant strategies such as the Corporate Parenting Strategy.

We want Clackmannanshire to be a great place for children and young people to grow up. We will do this by ensuring that they have the best possible opportunities and life chances. We want every child to experience a safe and happy childhood, develop positive wellbeing and access high quality learning and development opportunities so that they can move forward confidently into adulthood.
We have identified four core priorities that underpin our plan. Progress in these areas will have a positive impact across broader areas and help us deliver our vision for children and young people in Clackmannanshire:
The Clackmannanshire Children and Young People’s Strategic Partnership brings together organisations that support children, young people and families. By working together, partners aim to improve wellbeing, life chances and opportunities across Clackmannanshire.
The partnership works closely with other local groups, including child protection, family wellbeing, tackling poverty, community justice, employability, and alcohol and drug services. This joined‑up approach helps make sure services are coordinated and focused on what matters most.
The Children and Young People’s Strategic Partnership is part of the Clackmannanshire Community Planning Partnership (the Alliance) and supports the Wellbeing Local Outcomes Improvement Plan 2024-34, with a shared goal that all children and young people have the best possible start in life.
The Local Outcomes Improvement Plan links with other relevant strategies such as Keeping the Promise.
This programme aims to improve outcomes for all children and young people. Please see our GIRFEC web page for more information.
