About Three Rivers District Children's Trust Partnership
The District Children's Trust Partnership (DCTP) was formed in 2006 in order to take forward the national agenda for children and young people at a local level. The DCTP brings together organisations from the public, private and voluntary and community sectors that provide services for children and young people. The Partnership encourages these organisations to provide more 'joined up' services, and also works towards its own Children and Young People's Plan (CYPP) which can be downloaded below:
