Our mission and aim
The Partnership’s mission is that all children and young people in Devon should feel safe and be protected from harm.
To fulfil this mission, our aim is to make sure that children and families get the right support, in the right place at the right time.
This aim can only be delivered through successful multi-agency working. A central part of our work, then, is prioritising collaboration and strengthening relationships across the Partnership. This is also where our priorities come in, as they give us the structure around which we shape our collaborative approach.
Our priorities
Our current priorities are:
- Improving outcomes of pre-birth services and non-accidental injuries to infants.
- Improving partnership response to child neglect.
- Improving response to need through developing multi-agency contextual safeguarding approaches, including risk outside the home.
- Improving the partnership response to domestic abuse to prevent harm to children.
- Implementation of the Families First Partnership Programme.
These were agreed in June 2025. Please note that all priorities are equally as important as each other – the numbering is solely to help identify each priority.
