Salford Thrive Plan

Salford Thrive Plan 2023-2024

The Salford Thrive Plan 2023-24 is our integrated local transformation plan (LTP) for children’s emotional health and wellbeing. The plan sets out the over-arching work programme and priorities for children and young people’s emotional and mental health over the next 12 months.

To view please see the downloadable section at the bottom of the page.

Since 2015, it has been a statutory requirement that all Integrated Care Partnerships (ICP) produce and publish an annual update to their local transformation plans.

The Thrive Plan also shows the progress against our plan 2023-24 and priorities agreed for 2024-25.

Salford’s Thrive programme is focused on enabling as many young people to ‘Thrive’ as possible. This is done by supporting the whole system with improved understanding and awareness of children’s emotional health and wellbeing / mental health needs. Along with focusing on improving the confidence of the whole workforce in identifying needs and helping young people and / or managing risk support.

Salford City Council and Salford ICP are fully committed to working together to improve the mental health of our young people, and have established joint governance and integrated commissioning arrangements to oversee and support the Salford Thrive work programme.

The Thrive Partnership acts as the ‘expert reference group’ and is responsible for shaping priorities and for supporting implementation of the Thrive plan.

The Salford Thrive Plan 2024 is available in the downloadable documents section at the bottom of the page.

Doing Mental Health Differently
Greater Manchester's Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2024-2029

Supporting good mental health in Salford has always been a high priority. As a city facing challenges around poverty, physical health and education, we have similar challenges around the number of people with emotional wellbeing and mental health needs.

This is the updated five-year Greater Manchester Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy. It sets out what we will do together as a city-region to improve the mental health of people in Greater Manchester, to better support those with mental ill health and to reduce mental health inequalities across our city region.

We know that no single part of our system can solve the mental health and wellbeing challenges we face as a city-region. This strategy is an all age strategy, recognising that mental health is influenced by various issues from formal health services to social and economic conditions, to community, individual and family circumstances.

We all have a part to play in Greater Manchester becoming a mentally healthy city region. Achieving our shared vision is dependent upon a strong partnership approach. This means working in partnership with the public, voluntary sector, local government , other public services and importantly those with lived experience , so that each part of civic society in Greater Manchester can contribute to improved mental health.

This Strategy will be supported by an action plan with clear outcomes, co-developed, owned and delivered by the system.
