Connect - The Children's Trust newsletter

Spring edition January 2012

Director's Update

John Coughlan

Welcome to the new electronic format for Connect which brings to you news from the Children’s Trust, Local Children’s Partnerships, the County Council and our partner organisations. I am hoping that you will find this easier to navigate and see at a glance which articles are of most interest to you. It will also enable us to see which articles are being looked at most frequently and this will help shape content in the future. > Read the rest of the article.

Your feedback and comments will be very welcome via: childrens.services.communications@hants.gov.uk (The Connect editorial team).
