• Continue to improve the safeguarding of children and young people in Southend through multi-agency work
• Reduce the need for children and young people to be Looked After
• Reduce the number of children and young people who have experienced bullying including face to face, text or internet
• Reduce the impact of Domestic Abuse on children and young peoples' life chances
