Organisations across the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead launch Children and Young People’s Plan
Organisations across health, education, the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead and the voluntary sector, have today launched a Children and Young People’s Plan.
Organisational leaders have said: “ It is our great pleasure to introduce our first systemic plan. As system leaders, we are passionate about addressing inequalities and enabling children and young people to reach their full potential. We are determined to work more effectively together and with children, young people, and families to improve the services and support we provide to help achieve these ambitions.
“Over the years we have all worked hard to improve the life chances of children and young people. Although we know a great deal of what we have achieved has helped many to thrive, not all receive the best start in life or benefit from post-16 opportunities. Children and young people were hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. We are still learning to understand and live with its longer-term impact on public health and on the wider determinants of health which fundamentally define and shape our quality of life. The scale of the challenge we now face in the wider context of constrained public finances means it has never been more important for us to work together in order to continue to improve outcomes for children and young people.
We are confident that, as a system, by 2028 we will have succeeded in delivering significant benefits to the borough’s children and young people by achieving the ambitions set out in this plan”.
The plan can be viewed on the Achieving for Children website here: https://rbwm.afcinfo.org.uk/pages/community-information/information-and-advice/rbwm-children-and-young-peoples-partnership/children-and-young-people-s-plan
