The Hull Children, Young People and Families Plan 2019- 2023

A plan to ensure Hull is an inspiring, healthy and safe city for children and young people to learn, play, work and live has been launched.

The city’s Children, Young People and Families Board launched the plan for the city today (30 September 2019)

It outlines help to provide the best start in life for the city’s children, support to ensure children are ready for school, have access to good-quality education and that children with special educational needs and disabilities get the right help.

Partners will work together to improve early identification for young people who need help and work with families whose lives are affected by domestic abuse.

It also highlights the importance of young people having a voice and being enabled to be active citizens, as well as have good social, emotional and mental health and well-being.

Alison Murphy, chair of the board and director of Children and Family Services at Hull City Council, said: “We want all children and young people and their families to make healthy lifestyle choices, be safe from harm and have the confidence to be ambitious and to achieve their aspirations.
