Children, Young People and Families Trust
In Barnsley, we want everyone to start their life well, have the opportunity to learn, develop new skills, achieve their personal potential and have a good life. This means everything from a quality place to call home, good physical and mental wellbeing, access to the best possible local facilities, and a sense of self-worth through diverse education and secure employment opportunities.
The last couple of years have been marked by the global pandemic and we know that the impact on children, young people and families has been significant. This next period will also bring challenges, including the impact of the cost of living crisis on people and businesses, ongoing health inequalities, pressure on public sector budgets and workforce shortages.
The children’s workforce is our strongest asset and we will continue to support the sector to champion inclusivity, innovation and collaboration to make Barnsley the place of possibilities.
