The idea behind The Alliance is simple.  We believe that we can get the best for the children, young people and families we work for by acting together. By acting together we can make the best use of our collective resources, avoid duplication of effort and maximise the impact of the sector.

This page provides information about how The Alliance works. 

How it works

The Alliance is a charitable company limited by guarantee.
 
Company No: 07265654  
Registered charity No: 1138114 

Membership

  

The Articles of Association contain the objectives of The Alliance and govern its internal affairs, including the relationship between the trustees and the members.  
 

Governance

  

Representation 

The Alliance nominates individuals to represent the children and young people's voluntary sector at meetings and forums as required. 

Sector representation on bodies and partnerships fall into two broad categories:

• Strategic groups
  These are concerned with developing, reviewing and implementing high level strategy relating to services for children, young people and their families.  The over-arching strategic group is the Hampshire Children's Trust Board.
   
• Practitioner/outcome partnerships 
  These are concerned with developing new policy or delivering the initiatives in the Hampshire Children and Young People's Plan.       

The difficulties, challenges and limitations of representing the views of such a diverse sector are acknowledged and reflected in The Alliance Guidelines for Representation document.

All representatives are nominated/ reviewed/endorsed at the Annual General Meeting. 

Representatives on practitioner/outcome partnerships will usually continue from year to year because of the need for specialised knowledge and continuity of representation. Organisations in the appropriate sub-sector are encouraged to work with these representatives to ensure that there is effective communication.

Where there is urgency, The Alliance Board will select a representative and will seek confirmation at the next general meeting of The Alliance.
