Home Children, Young People & Families

Our Children, Young people and Families Team believe all children have the right to lead active, healthy lives, achieving their full potential in learning and development, feeling connected and safe and having equal access to opportunity and economic security. Our Teams will work in collaboration with key community partners and stakeholders to develop and deliver a range of evidence-based programmes and initiatives aimed at providing early intervention and prevention for the whole family. Beginning at the earliest start in life and continuing with them on their journey we aim to further embed programmes such as PEEP +DLR (Early Parenting Support Programme) and Homework Club and Afterschool Support programmes where children, young people and families can thrive in their local communities.
