Children and young people are the future of the Bolton family; we want to do the best we can for them. This plan sets out how all those working with children and young people and their families can work together so that the vision of good outcomes for children and young people becomes a reality.

We know that many children and young people in Bolton do well but we also know that there are differences in outcomes, often between those living in areas of deprivation and those who grow up in prosperous areas. This plan brings a clear focus across all agencies to work together to reduce inequalities and to improve the outcomes for all children and young people – because Every Child Matters in the Bolton Family.
