Section 1 - Vision and Priorities
Making the priorities a reality
The success of the plan will be demonstrated by how well the priorities are met and the extent to which these are shared and understood by children and young people and partners. To enable this, the priorities have been translated into the following set of actions for different groups of children and young people, their parents/carers and communities.
What the priorities mean for all children and young people |
|---|
|
Working with you to ensure that you receive an excellent education and enjoy opportunities for learning and play in school and the wider community. Involving you in decision making so that services are relevant for you and easy to access. Learning from, and working with, you and your parents and carers, so that together, we can do the best for you. Protecting you from harm and promoting your safety and well-being. Celebrating your achievements and responding quickly when you need support so that you have every opportunity to be a successful learner, confident individual and responsible citizen. |
What the priorities mean for all parents and carers |

Working with you as a key partner, based on the recognition that parents and carers bring up children and young people and that the home environment you create is the crucial influence on your children’s well-being. Making information, advice and support available to you, including parenting courses and family learning opportunities, if and when needed. Engaging you fully in the planning, commissioning and monitoring of services, particularly through schools, children’s centres, parent groups, parenting services and practitioners. Providing access to sufficient and affordable childcare that meets your needs. For service families: Addressing issues of school admission and improving access to local services and amenities. Supporting continuity of services during and after changes in postings, by working with the Civil Military Partnership and garrisons/stations, as outlined in The Nation’s Commitment: Cross Government Support to our Armed Services, their Families and Veterans |
What the priorities mean for local communities |

Promoting healthy lifestyles and reducing health inequalities. Maximising well-being, maintaining and improving quality of life and working to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to be active in their community.
