Agenda item

9.1

Sheffield’s All-Age Mental and Emotional Health and Wellbeing Strategy sets the scene for supporting Sheffield people – from young to old – with their mental and emotional health and wellbeing. It is positive, ambitious, and focussed on delivering change in partnership and collaboration. The strategy will be underpinned by an annually updated delivery plan which will have clear objectives and outcomes anticipated. This will be a partnership document, and a range of organisations will continue to work together on the delivery of the strategy’s objectives.

RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY: That Strategy and Resources Policy Committee:-

(a) approves the All-Age Mental and Emotional Health and Wellbeing Strategy, as detailed in the report now submitted; and

(b) requests that an accompanying delivery plan is brought to the Adults and Education, Children & Families Policy Committees in six months’ time, along with an update of progress made.

9.3

Reasons for Decision

The strategy is a positive development for the city and will enable partner organisations to work together to improve mental and emotional health and wellbeing of citizens of Sheffield.

9.3.2

Approving the strategy demonstrates the Committee’s commitment to partnership working across the City to improve citizens outcomes and experiences.

9.4

Alternatives Considered and Rejected
