Children and Young people

Hertsmere Together partners will continue to work towards enabling children and young people in Hertsmere to feel safe, contribute to society, enjoy life and be offered opportunities to achieve their potential. Hertsmere Together will continue to develop and nurture strong and cohesive partnerships between a range of statutory, voluntary and community organisations, ensuring that these partners work collectively to deliver, coordinate and promote high quality services that improve outcomes for children and young people and enhance their quality of life.

Hertsmere Together Partners come together in Hertsmere’s Children’s Trust Partnership to work towards this vision. The Partnership work towards ensuring children and young people have a healthy start to life and remain healthy into adulthood, and improve opportunities for them to take part in positive activities including play, sport and leisure, creative and cultural pursuits. It will also work to improve the economic wellbeing of children and young people by seeking to reduce the proportion of those living in poverty and increasing access to skills development, learning and employment opportunities.
