The Department of Children and Youth Affairs (DCYA) are working on an initiative called Working Together for Children. The purpose of the Working Together for Children initiative is to secure better developmental outcomes for children through more effective integration of policies and services in particular through the Children’s Services Committees (CSCs). A National Co-ordinator for the Children’s Services Committees Initiative was appointed in June 2013 to provide strategic leadership for the CSC initiative at national level and to support CSCs at local level through their CSC co-ordinator. The aim of the Children’s Service Committees is to connect agencies at county level with one another in order to plan and influence the delivery of more joined-up services for children and families. The local CES has been established for the Sligo/Leitrim area.
