Consultation on new guidance for planning children's services 12/4/00 LASSL(2000) 3 We are issuing the draft guidance in partnership with the Cabinet Office, HM Treasury, the Home Office, the Department for Education and Employment, the Department for the Environment, Transport and Regions and the Department of Culture, Media and Sport. The consultative guidance promotes planning services for vulnerable children as a corporate activity with the full participation of NHS bodies. It proposes that children's services plans should be the vehicle for rationalising planning requirements concerned with vulnerable children and ensuring that the outcomes sought for such children are consistent with those sought for all children and are coherent across all local services. The main body of the guidance can be accessed through the internet at the following website address: www.doh.gov.uk/scg/cspconsultation.htm. It comprises the guidance itself (40 pages), annex A (6 pages) and annex B (19 pages with 2 pages of references).
