The Big Ask: collectively helping our children to be happy, healthy, safe and to achieve

Do you work with or for children, young people and families  in West Berkshire?  If yes then this event is a great chance for you to influence decisions about future service design and delivery.

On behalf of Public Health and  Wellbeing and Children’s Commissioning,  with the support of Empowering West Berkshire and Children's Centres, we would like to invite you to this important event:

"The Big Ask: collectively helping our children to be happy, healthy, safe and to achieve"  

4th June 10:30am to 6:30pm at Thatcham and Area Children’s Centre,  Park Lane Site, Thatcham 

An event to explore together how we can continue to deliver great services for children and families in West Berkshire, in a context of changes to the way services are run and shrinking public funding. 

The Big Ask Event is an excellent opportunity to build on current work by looking at the ways we work in partnership and the pathways that will improve outcomes for children, young people and families. We will consider what is working well, what is not working quite so well, what the gaps are and how they can be filled. 

From April 2015, responsibility for commissioning Health Visitor and Family Nurse Partnership services transfers to local authorities.  We want to use this event  to look at services as a whole and undertake a collaborative review of under-5s services. This is just one of the many topics for discussion.

Refreshments will be provided and the format is drop-in with an option to book into structured sessions repeated through the day.
