Consultation on 2008-2011 Children and Young People's Plan

Get Involved! Get Informed!

Have your say on Darlington’s Children and Young People’s Plan

Darlington produced its first Children and Young People’s Plan two years ago. Last year you helped us to review the plan and it is now time for us to review and re-write the plan again.

The Children and Young People’s Plan sets out how service providers including the Council, schools, the health service, police and voluntary bodies will work together over the coming years to deliver the Sustainable Community Strategy Vision – One Darlington, Perfectly Placed, to improve the lives of children, young people and their
families.

Our Priorities are to support all children and young people so that they can:

  • Be healthy – Through promoting positive health and emotional wellbeing
  • Stay Safe – Ensure the safety of children and young people
  • Enjoy and Achieve – Enable Children and Young People to aspire, have fun and maximise their full potential through learning
  • Make a positive contribution – Enable children and Young People to contribute to their community and environment
  • Achieve economic well-being – Ensure Children and Young People are prepared for and prosper in adult life

These five priorities compliment each other. Children and young people thrive and learn best when they are healthy, safe and engaged.

The Draft of the Children and Young Peoples Plan 2008 -2011 is now available on our website for consultation and can be opened through the link below.
