Robust governance and data-quality arrangements are in place. Quality and safety remain strong, with routine monitoring of incidents and complaints, low levels of formal escalation and consistently positive service-user feedback. HDFT continues to invest in quality improvement, supporting service development, evaluation and continuous improvement. Key criterion 2: Value The service supports over 150,000 children and young people, providing universal and targeted support in response to significant levels of need and health inequality across County Durham. HDFT demonstrates financial responsibility through transparent monthly reporting on staffing and workforce pressures and has reduced its management fee over the contract term, supporting continued cost efficiency.

HDFT responds collaboratively to system change and emerging need through joint pathways, strengthened referral arrangements and active participation in strategic public health partnerships. Key criterion 4: Access, inequalities and choice HDFT supports access and reduces inequalities through a tiered model of universal, enhanced and targeted provision, enabling early identification of need and preventative support. Services are delivered flexibly across homes, community venues, Family Hubs and schools, supported by digital provision including a 24/7 health app, online resources and practitioner-led health chat. Key criterion 5: Social value HDFT has exceeded social value expectations through local employment, apprenticeship learning and volunteering activity, supporting local workforce and community development.
