Our charter for children and young people

We will strive to make South Gloucestershire a place where all children and young people have the best possible start in life and are involved in shaping the future and where they:
  • enjoy the best possible physical and mental health and live a healthy lifestyle;
  • are safeguarded, protected from harm and neglect and feel safe and secure at all times;
  • have encouragement and excellent opportunities to learn, play, enjoy and achieve wherever they are;
  • have the opportunity to achieve their aspirations, be creative and play a full and positive part in their communities;
  • grow up in strong and secure families and vibrant communities and achieve rewarding adult lives.

 
To support this we will work to provide really good services which put children, young people and their families first and:

  • involve children, young people and their families;
  • work with localities and communities;
  • join up and integrate our work together;
  • focus on the early identification of needs and preventative action.
