Prevention Service
We have launched a new children and families prevention service that brings together a range of
preventative work previously undertaken by separate services.
There is now a single service which:
Operates seamlessly throughout the 0-19 age range;
Eliminates duplication, unnecessary and unhelpful transitions for families;
Has a new way to provide services, including a greater capacity to provide early help in a more
targeted way for children, young people and families; and
Is co-located with the new healthy child teams (5-19)
Our vision is that "families in North Yorkshire are able to access readily a range of support
to ensure that their children are safe, happy and well, and that they can
flourish at school and in the wider world".
