Bridgend Children and Young People's Partnership
The Bridgend Children and Young People's Partnership is a Welsh Assembly Government initiative that provides a context for planning and delivering services for children and young people from 0 - 19 years, together with care leavers up to 21 (or above if in continuing education or training) and those receiving youth support services (within the meaning of Section 123 of the Learning and Skills Act 2000) up to the age of 25. The Partnership works to the seven core aims which are that all children and young people should be given every chance:
- have a flying start to life by which we mean - be born healthy into a secure and supportive family
- have access to appropriate educational opportunities by which we mean - be able to fulfil their potential as learners
- be healthy and free from exploitation by which we mean - be healthy and secure individuals, free from exploitation by others
- access play, leisure, sporting and cultural activities by which we mean - be able to participate in activities regardless of their skills and abilities
- be listened to and treated with respect by which we mean - be able to have a say in all decisions which affect them and have an understanding of their rights and responsibilities
- live in a safe home and community by which we mean - be safe and emotionally well supported within their home and local community
- not be disadvantaged by poverty by which we mean - thrive and become confident and caring people regardless of their family's income
