    Consultation description

    The previous ten year strategy for children and young people 2006-2016 ‘Our Children and Young People – Our Pledge’ set out a shared vision that all our children and young people would thrive and look forward with confidence to the future.

    This consultation document outlines the work that has taken place to build on that strategy and develop, in partnership with a wide range of stakeholders and children and young people, the new Executive Strategy for Children and Young People. It sets out the aims and objectives of the Strategy and its anticipated outcomes.

    Your views are sought on the range of questions set out in the response questionnaire.

    If you require an alternative format please contact us.

    A series of public consultation events will be taking place across Northern Ireland in the coming weeks. Details are provided above.
