New young people's plan for Carmarthenshire
Carmarthenshire's Children and Young People’s Partnership (CYPP) want to get children and young people involved in development of their new 2011 Plan.
The plan will cover all the different services that children and young people may need to use; these will include education, youth services, leisure and health services.
The Hywel Dda Health Board, Dyfed Powys Police, Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Authority, Voluntary Associations, education staff and Carmarthenshire County Council are all part of the CYPP.
Officers from these services have overall responsibility for the plan and their aim is to ensure that children are fully aware of their rights which are outlined by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Councillor Gwynne Wooldridge, Executive Board Member for Education and Children’s Services said:“The services involved in the plan are there to listen to children and young people’s ideas and concerns which will allow them to provide all the help and support needed to give children and young people the best possible start in life.
It’s essential that we listen to young people as we can only make changes for the better if they are on board.”
The draft plan is taken to various organisations across the county including all the partnership groups, youth councils and youth groups.
New ideas from around the county are put into the plan and each year actions covered in the plan are looked at to see if things are improving for children and young people.
