Connect Somerset Champion Paul Matcham shares how a new focus group is helping to support young people in West Somerset.
We hosted a multi-agency event at Minehead Eye which was attended by over 50 professionals, facilitating networking between those who hadn’t previously collaborated.
By getting members of health and education sectors, including health coaches, village agents, and voluntary organisations, school counsellors and nurses to work together, it fuelled conversations and collaborative working that will help to reduce issues for young children and families, including low children’s school attendance.
