New Priorities 2007
Following consultation with parents, carers, children and young people, Borough of Poole published the Children and Young People's Plan (CYPPlan) in 2006 which set out priorities to improve opportunities for children and young people.
We will review the plan every year (from 2006-2009), and adjust the priorities to suit the needs of children and young people and thier families.
The new priorities for 2007 are:
Improve health outcomes, school standards and behaviour in neighbourhoods where there are more disadvantages and inequalities by:
- developing local integrated services, parenting support, early learning and outstanding educational experience, and school based behaviour management.
Aim higher for children with disabilities by:
- integrating services, key working, improved transition work and greater participation from children and young people.
Increase stable and secure placements for children in care by:
- improving placement stability, choice and emotional well-being.
Ensure children and young people feel safe in their homes, schools and public areas by:
- reducing harm from domestic abuse, drugs, alcohol and bullying in and out of school.
Promote equality and celebrate and respect diversity for all children, young people and their families by:
- promoting understanding of our multi-cultural society and taking action on issues arising from race, gender, disability, age, religion or belief, sexual orientation, and duties of social cohesion.
Increase confident and employable young people who feel valued in our Town by:
- encouraging and valuing the positive contribution young people make, developing the 14-19 Agenda and increasing aspirations, attendance, achievement and enjoyable activities.
