On 20 March 2019 Council endorsed “Every Child Our Future: Policy Issues and Options Paper” for community consultation between 25 March and 7 May 2019.

The paper makes 25 recommendations to achieve the seven objectives of Council’s new Children’s Services Policy.

Until 7 May, the community is invited to give feedback on the draft recommendations.

Councillors will consider this feedback before deciding on which recommendations will be included in the new policy mid 2019.

The policy will then be written and an implementation plan developed.
