Public can help develop partnership plan
Public consultation is being viewed as a key element in the
development of a plan focusing on the delivery of services for
children and young people in the Vale of Glamorgan over the next
three years.
As part of the development of a Vale of Glamorgan Children and
Young People's Partnership Plan (2008-11) and in line with Welsh
Assembly Government guidelines, a draft has been published and will
be the subject of consultation until 20 June.
The draft plan has been prepared by the Children and Young
People's Partnership, including the council, health, voluntary
sector and other associated agencies, after listening to the 'needs
and aspirations' of children and young people and views of service
providers.
Emphasising that public involvement was "very welcome" in
helping develop the plan, the council's lead director for children
and young people, Bryan Jeffreys, said: "The council and its
partners want to ensure that children and young people in the Vale
are able to achieve their full potential in every area of their
lives.
"The partnership will ensure that children and young people are
well informed and supported to access a broad range of quality
services."
He added: "We hope our residents will take time to let us know
whether they think we have captured the right priorities or,
indeed, missed anything out. All views will be taken into account
when preparing the final document to be issued in September."
Copies of the plan can be accessed online or by contacting the Vale
Children and Young People's Partnership, Civic Offices, Holton
