Kirklees Future in Mind Transformation Plan 2015 - 2020
We want every child and young person in Kirklees to enjoy a happy and healthy childhood and to become confident adults who can cope with the demands of everyday life and contribute to their community.
The Kirklees Future in Mind Transformation Plan describes how we will improve services for children and young people with emotional, behavioural and mental health difficulties over the next five years (from 2015 to 2020).
The plan was developed by the local NHS and Kirklees Council in response to a national drive to improve services for young people and their families. Before completing the plan we talked to a wide range of people, including parents, people who use services, and professionals.
The Kirklees Transformation Plan 2019
This is the final version of the 2019 Kirklees Transformation Plan.
In December 2015 we published The Kirklees Future in Mind Transformation Plan which described how we proposed to work towards improving services for children and young people with emotional, behavioural and mental health difficulties by 2020. As part of the national oversight of Transformation Plans, all local plans are refreshed and published annually. This refresh summarises our achievements so far, together with those priorities which still need more work to achieve our vision and ambitions identified in the original plan. We have included other information which relate to this refresh.
