Vision
Our vision is a city where every child and young person can enjoy their childhood in a warm and supporting environment, free from poverty and safe from harm; a city where every child grows up to achieve their full potential (Taken from the Children and Young People's Plan (CYPP)).
Our service area vision is to provide a framework which supports services to achieve the best outcomes for vulnerable children/families and promotes a cycle of continuous improvement.
