Cluster Council

The primary responsibility of the Local Planning and Coordinating Councils (LPCC) is to advise and assist with the implementation of the First Steps System in their region. Through the council, community resources are identified and service providers are invited to coordinate all available early intervention services for children.
Each council has a coordinator and members composed of providers, parents and community leaders. Each council is responsible for developing and documenting a formal system of communication and coordination among participating agencies operating in its respective region.
