Children and Young People's Plan

Introduction

Vision

Calderdale Council knows that all children and young people are different and that everyone matters. This is encapsulated in our vision which was created by children and young people;

'everyone different, everyone matters'.

With our partners, for example people in health, education and safety, we want to support all children and young people in Calderdale to do and be the best they possibly can.

Ambition

Our ambition is for all children and young people in Calderdale to:

• be brought up in a caring and safe place
• be healthy
• be listened to and heard
• get the knowledge and skills they need for life
• meet with other young people from different backgrounds
• easily get in touch with any service they need.
