Integrated Children and Young People’s Plan

Our  vision is set out in Getting It Right For East Renfrewshire’s Children and Young People, (pdf 544kb) our Integrated Children and Young People’s Plan for 2009 -2012.

After listening to what children, families, staff, and partner agencies have told us, the plan commits us to keep improving how we plan and deliver our services to ensure children get the help they need when they need it.  

The plan has been produced by:

  • East Renfrewshire Council;
  • East Renfrewshire Community Health and Care Partnership;
  • NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde, and;
  • Strathclyde Police.

A number of other agencies including Scottish Children’s Reporter Administration, Careers Scotland and local voluntary organisations have also contributed to the plan.

We will publish an annual update to the plan and make it available on this website; this will let you know what has been achieved and where progress is still to be made.

You can get a printed copy of the Integrated Children’s Services Plan or a summary wall chart of the plan by contacting  0141 577 3730.

It can also be explained to you in other languages and we can provide it in other formats such as large print or Braille.  For further information please contact Customer First on 0141 577 3001 or email
