Epping Forest Children's Partnership
Epping Forest Children's Partnership (EFCP) brings together all key local organisations that provide children's services and encourages them to work together.
The Partnership is part of One Epping Forest - the Local Strategic Partnership and is chaired by Julie Chandler of the District Council.
The key purpose of EFCP is to identify the varied needs of Epping Forest's children, young people and their families and to address these needs through improving coordination and developing services.
The Partnership represents Epping Forest's children, young people and families at the West Essex Children's Trust Board, which is the new area partnership body to service planning and commissioning.
EFCP aims to ensure that the unique needs and often hidden issues of deprivation and disadvantage in the Epping Forest District are recognised and addressed.
As part of the "Every Child Matters" agenda and in line with the Essex Children and Young People's Plan, the Partnership aims to improve the lives of children and young people in the Epping Forest District through prioritising need and directing interventions and activities accordingly.
