The Children and Young People’s Plan (CYPP) (renamed The Big Plan after consultation with Cambridgeshire children) sets the strategic direction of travel for services to children and young people in Cambridgeshire.

The Plan states the overall vision for local services and the standards, which govern that vision: quality, participations, inclusions, reducing inequalities and raising achievement).

The Plan contains an assessment of the current needs of Cambridgeshire's children and young people based on:

• data
• views of children, young people, parents and carers
• view of practitioners

 
It details priority actions in relation to the five key outcome areas.

• be healthy
• stay safe
• enjoy and achieve
• make positive contributions
• achieve economic well-being

Finally the Plan makes clear how those actions will be delivered.
