Kingston residents are invited to have their say on Council’s Draft Family and Children’s Strategy (Incorporating the Municipal Early Years Plan) 2012-2016. Feedback and comments can be made until 22 June 2012.

| The Strategy aims to provide Council with a strategic direction for the development and coordination of education, care and other services that impact on the wellbeing and development of children aged 0-12 years.
Council plays a substantial role in providing support to families and children through the provision of services and activities, such as maternal and children health services, playgroups, child care, parenting programs and support groups.
The vision Council has for families and children in the City of Kingston is that:
-
Children have the best possible start in life;
-
Children’s rights and views are reflected in policies, laws, programs and resource allocation;
-
Strong partnerships create an environment that will maximise the development of children and their families; and
-
The City of Kingston is developed in a manner that takes account of the needs and aspirations of children and their families.
This vision will be achieved through actions that relate to the following objectives:
-
Work in partnership with the community to enhance the wellbeing of children aged 0-12 years and their families through improved information provision and active participation;
-
Create natural and urban environments that enhance the City of Kingston as a child and family friendly city; and
-
Promote access to inclusive family and children services and facilities that meet the current and future demand.
Your feedback is invaluable and will help Council enhance Kingston as a child and family friendly city.
All families and service providers are encouraged to provide comments on the Draft Strategy until 22 June 2012 by:
