The Child Friendly Warwickshire programme
The Child Friendly Warwickshire programme, which is bringing the county together in a collective mission to create opportunities and lasting and positive change for young people, is gathering pace – and it needs your help to keep that going!
The key to the success of Child Friendly Warwickshire is for all members of the community to ask themselves what they can do to help make the county the best place for children and young people to grow up and learn. The council is looking to businesses, organisations and individuals for ideas, no matter how small, which will nurture the next generation.
To help, please consider putting in the below article in your newsletters to parents and carers. It would also be helpful to share the following survey to gauge current awareness of the campaign: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=BqqwiCdZu0uok4nMJxOsggNlk5w8gwZFqfwqJcuopd9UNFNNMTdQWk9CSTJNVlZaUFBOQTdLOUZBNS4u
Make a difference to the lives of children and young people
Warwickshire County Council is looking to all members of the community to ask them what they can do to help make the county the best place for children and young people to grow up and learn. The council is looking to businesses, organisations and individuals for ideas, no matter how small, which will nurture the next generation.
This will be key to the success of Child Friendly Warwickshire, an exciting programme bringing the county together in a collective mission to create opportunities and lasting and positive change for young people. It will ensure their voices are heard, that they are safe, happy and healthy and equipped with the skills to lead the best lives they can.
Having the best start in life does not happen by accident and every person or experience in a child’s world will have an influence. The programme needs the support of everyone in the community so that every child and young person, no matter their background, has every chance to flourish in all aspects of their lives.
From small ideas like keeping our parks clean so children have a safe environment to play in or supporting a local young person’s football team, to bigger contributions like fostering a child or providing education and employment opportunities, everyone can play a part. Working together to put the future of Warwickshire at the heart of the activities will have an enormous impact.
