FCT brings together eight service areas into integrated, co-located teams and includes, for example, Children’s Centres, play and youth services, CAMHS, family support services and YOT. The services are designed to provide effective family early intervention.

He has worked in Local Government for twelve years, having worked in three neighbouring authorities leading a wide range of integrated children’s services. Tim also has a higher education background (University of Manchester). A particular interest and motivation of his is the cultural and organisational challenges associated with true integrated working within children and adult services.
