A NEW framework to develop services for youngsters is being drawn up by County Durham and Darlington Health Authority.
The development is a partnership between children and young people, health services, local authority and voluntary organisations.
The framework hopes to provide a vision for children in County Durham and Darlington and for it be agreed by all relevant agencies across the area.
Young people are to be consulted in devising the framework and encouraged to talk about their concerns.
The policy will be used to plan, deliver and review services for children including child protection, drugs, education and social care.
