North West Regional Group

Children England's North West regional group has a strong core membership, with a wide range of organisations involved. Emphasis is currently focused on increasing the number of smaller organisations involved in the group. This will make the group more representative of the region and also further increase the amount of information exchanged. Meetings are held on a quarterly basis where information is shared via presentations and group discussion. Issues previously discussed include ContactPoint and workforce development. We have successfully hosted events relating to commissioning and partnership working. Our most recent event was focused on Safeguarding in relation to the new Vetting and Barring Scheme. The North West group works in partnership with Government Office North West, the VCS Engage programme, CWDC, Voluntary Sector North West and the North West Regional Youth Work Unit. If you are interested in becoming a new member of this group, contact Jon Reese Jon.reese@actionforchildren.org.uk.
