Purpose of Children & Young Peoples Services Committees
The purpose of Children and Young People’s Services Committees is to secure better outcomes for children and young people through more effective integration of existing services and interventions at local level.
CYPSC’s work towards achieving the five national outcomes for children and young people in Ireland as outlined in “Better Outcomes Brighter Futures”, which is the first overarching national policy framework for children and young people (aged 0‐24 years) in Ireland. The purpose of the framework is to coordinate policy across Government to achieve better outcomes. The framework also identifies six areas that have the potential to improve outcomes and transform the effectiveness of existing policies, services and resources in achieving these national outcomes. The five national outcomes are that children and young people:
- Are active and healthy, with positive physical and mental wellbeing
- Are achieving full potential in all areas of learning and development
- Are safe and protected from harm
- Have economic security and opportunity
- Are connected, respected and contributing to their world

It contains information on CYPSC and the 5 national outcomes in “Better Outcomes Brighter Futures”. It also directs readers to the Wexford CYPSC website www.wexfordcypsc.ie for more information on services and supports for children, young people and families and signposts to the Wexford Children and Young People's Plan.
