Have your say on future of Windsor and Maidenhead children's services
Parents and carers, children and young people, children’s services professionals and the wider community are invited to have their say on a plan which shows the Royal Windsor and Maidenhead Borough’s priorities in the provision of services for children and young people locally.
The Windsor and Maidenhead Children and Young People Plan (CYPP) sets out the most important priorities for Children’s Services for the council and its partners and aims to improve the lives of children and young people so that they are healthy, stay safe, enjoy and achieve, make a positive contribution and achieve economic wellbeing, in accordance with Government guidelines. The council published its first CYPP in 2006. Work has now begun on developing the new CYPP for 2008-2011 and draft priorities have been drawn up for consultation.
Cllr Eileen Quick, lead member for Windsor and Maidenhead children’s services, said: “This is a wonderful opportunity to build on the excellent work already carried out by children’s services – and everyone in the community with a vested interested is invited to have their say.”
Young people and children also had the chance to have their say about the services which affect them at a conference held on Tuesday (November 20). The conference allowed students from 14 secondary and middle schools in the borough to speak out about the issues which affect them and their peers. The findings of this conference will be used to form the final Children and Young People Plan 2008-11.
