The government's aim of improving the lives of children and young people in the Isle of Man has taken a big step forward.
MATs - or multi-agency teams - are being established in each of the five neighbourhood policing areas, charged with the task of finding out and delivering what youngsters in their communities need.
The teams have representatives from social services, health, education, the police and the voluntary sector and are looking at a range of goals, highlighted in the Chief Minister's Strategy for Children and Young People.
Chief Constable Mike Langdon is confident the new approach will bear fruit:
Peel bar impacted by bus strikes
Care funding reform report delayed following ministerial change
Charity plans baby loss memorial garden at Noble's Hospital
New rights for neonatal care leave and carer's leave on the way
Manx Wildlife Trust launches new internship programme
