Each network group reports to the Network Board, and comprises of representation from across the network. The sections above provide a detailed description of each group, terms of reference, objectives, agendas and minutes.
In addition to the above groups in 2005 the Staffordshire, Shropshire and Black Country Maternity Network was formed.
The Network Board is able to support the network groups with business and workforce planning by working closely with children's commissioners.
There is a constant tension between developing new network groups and providing adequate resources to existing services to the level that is required.
The network is an open organisation and we are keen to welcome anyone from the network area to join our network groups.
