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.

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.

city and will enable partner organisations to work together to
improve mental and emotional health and wellbeing of citizens of
Sheffield.

Considered and Rejected

 

 

9.4.1

Do nothing: It would be possible not to
produce a strategy for this area – but it would mean any
plans would lack focus, coherence, and public accountability.
