Monmouthshire Children and Young People's Plan 2008-2011

Monmouthshire Children and Young People’s Partnership (CYPP), led by Monmouthshire County Council, has written a Children and Young People’s Plan (CYP Plan) covering the time from 2008 to 2011.

The CYP Plan takes the place of other important plans for children and young people.  The plan sets out the targets for Monmouthshire’s children and young people to help them have the best possible start in life, and to enjoy happy, healthy lives. 

The plan shows how services such as health, the police, social services, schools and voluntary organisations will work together to help those who are vulnerable or in need and sets targets for improvement up to 2011.

Areas covered include:

• more support for families with very young children
• increased play opportunities
• improved access to sexual health services
• activities to prevent  young people smoking
• work to reduce the impact of bullying
• better information and help for parents

Peter Fox, leader of Monmouthshire Council, praised the plan:

“The Children and Young People’s Plan is a very clear document, written in plain English, that describes why and how we are prioritising services for children and young people in Monmouthshire.  We asked many children and young people what they thought of the draft version of the plan and we included their suggestions in this final version.  All the services involved in producing this plan are committed to improving children and young people’s chances and our partnership believes that respect, fairness and social justice are the foundations for what we do”.
