Essex Provider Directory

A new excel database has been restructured so that information can be accessed in a clearer more concise format. 

Some additional functions have been added including

  • Printable project summary sheets
  • Specific feedback forms for amendments and additions – these are accessed through clicking on the relevant button and are automatically sent through to a dedicated mailbox.

Further developments are planned including refining the filter catalogue and standardising entries

We have not had time undertake a full data cleanse and therefore it is acknowledged that some of the provider information requires updating/deleting and that new provision needs to be added. 

To assist us in that task we would ask that colleagues review the information contained in the database and complete the appropriate feedback sheet. 

(Please note that before you press the send button, at the top right of the form, please ensure you have hit the return button after entering each amendment/addition).

An updated database, incorporating all  the amendments, will be uploaded onto the website on a monthly basis. 

For further information please contact Liz Martlew Parenting Commissioner   Liz.martlew@essex.gov.uk

Children's Trust in Essex

In 2009 the Children's Trust arrangements in Essex undertook a review and from this recommendations were made to the Children's Trust Board. 

The purpose of the Children's Trust is to provide the county-wide strategic lead of the Children’s Trust in Essex by bringing together in partnership those authorities with the duty to co-operate and other organisations co-opted in order to secure improvement in the well-being of children and young people in Essex, as defined by Section10 of the Children Act 2004.

We work very closely with the Essex Safeguarding Children Board, a statutory multi agency organisation which brings together agencies who work to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and young people in Essex.

All the latest developments, news, events and important documents will be uploaded to this area of the website, use the links below and on the right to access the various sections.

Child Poverty Strategy

An Essex Child Poverty Needs Assessment was undertaken with the Local Children's Partnerships, Local Strategic Parterships and their member organisations working together at district level during summer 2010 to map and audit activities, identify gaps and highlight key priorities for action.  

This Child Poverty Strategy has been developed from the needs assessment findings with child poverty champions from across each district who will ensure actions in the Strategy are implemented and progress is reviewed regularly.

    Responsibilities 

    • Drive forward in Essex on behalf of the Children’s Trust the development of an integrated approach to Children and Young People’s services and the implementation of the agendas of Every Child Matters; Healthy Lives, Brighter Futures and 21st Century Schools.
    • Put in place robust arrangements for inter-agency governance across the wider children’s services arena in particular in relation to the Essex Safeguarding Children’s Board (ESCB).
    • Undertake an annually refreshed comprehensive needs analysis aligned with the Joint Strategic Needs Analysis and informed by the views of children, young people and their families.
    • Develop The Children & Young People’s Plan and undertake subsequent annual reviews. 
    • Develop a strategy for joint commissioning as part of The Children and Young People’s Plan, based on the shared priorities and needs analysis of the partnerships across Essex and designed to address the needs of children and young people in Essex.
    • Align the joint resources of the partnership and determine commissioning actions based on a shared understanding of priority and need.
    • Lead on the development of the overarching vision, priorities and delivery relating to children and young people in the Sustainable Community Strategy and Local Area Agreement and ensure alignment between them and The Children and Young People’s Plan.
    • Set a framework for the operation of Local Children’s Trust Boards and support and oversee the activities of the local Boards.

    Purpose 

    To improve outcomes for children related to each implementation group area.

    The groups will be: 

    • Be Healthy
    • Stay Safe
    • Enjoy and Achieve
