[To present the final programme report, highlighting achievements, challenges and the learn and embed plan]

That the learning from Headstart into future planning of wellbeing services for children and young people be endorsed.

Councillor Beverley Momenabadi presented salient points from the report on how the learning from HeadStart, a wide ranging programme offering different ways to support mental and emotional wellbeing, would be embedded within the future offer for children, young people and their families in the city. In doing so she informed Cabinet that the report was a wrap up and celebration of the HeadStart project and that there would be some great follow up and work in the area of children's mental health and wellbeing to continue in the city. The programme had made a difference not just to children and young people's lives, but to their parents and carers.  HeadStart had been a lifeline for many parents in the city who would not have accessed that kind of support were it not in their own community. 

Resolved:

That the learning from HeadStart into future planning of wellbeing services for children and young people be endorsed.
