Delivering the care that children deserve
A simple and effective framework for bringing the best care to the children and young people who need it the most.
THE CHILDS FRAMEWORK
The Child Health Integrated Learning and Delivery System (CHILDS) framework is an innovative and effective approach to care that uses population health management tools and methods to deliver targeted early intervention and integrated biopsychosocial care to children with long-term conditions and everyday child health problems.
CHILDS provides the tools and methods to deliver proportionate universal care and reduce inequalities, so that the children who are most in need of care get the care they need. It includes health promotion for all children, integrated care for children with general child health conditions, targeted risk management and proactive care for children with long-term conditions.
Our Mission
Our Mission
Our Mission
Our ambition is that children receive holistic, integrated care that supports them at a biological, psychological and social level. As such, we have developed a comprehensive approach to securing and improving health.
Families understand and are supported in proactively managing their own health, and a multi-disciplinary team of child health specialists is available to provide additional care when needed.
To achieve our ambitions, we are working to strengthen the health system by influencing the macro-determinants that affect health.
Our History
Our Mission
Our Mission
We began developing the Child Health Integrated Learning and Delivery System (CHILDS) Framework in 2013 by forming the Children and Young People’s Health Partnership (CYPHP), a group of like-minded experts committed to improving the health and wellbeing of children and young people.
The CHILDS Framework was developed in collaboration with key stakeholders including children and young people, carers, front-line practitioners and health service commissioners. Frustrated by the challenges confronting the health system for children, we wanted to develop a model of smarter care for children and their families.

Our Team
CHILDS was developed by the Children and Young People's Health Partnership (CYPHP). Central to our partnership are the local children, young people and families who we serve. We bring together partners from local healthcare providers and commissioners, hospital and university to improve the delivery of healthcare to children.
The CHILDS team comprises clinicians, managers, and researchers. We work on implementation, delivery and evaluation of this innovative partnership model of care.
