Children's Partnership

Children and young people are an important part of Islington. This is their Islington too and a place for them to live, play, learn and work. We want to make it even better.

Working together with parents, carers, the wider community, those working with children and children and young people themselves, the Islington Children’s Partnership wants to support children and young people in Islington as they grow up, making it possible for them to:

• be fit and healthy
• feel safe in and around Islington
• learn, have things to do and have fun
• have their say and take part in decisions and activities in the community
• have the social, personal, financial and other life skills needed to enjoy their future

What is important for all of us is that every child and young person in Islington has the opportunity to achieve as much as they are able, and their parents, carers and communities have the support they need to nurture and care for them.

Children and Young People's Plan 2006-09

In 2006, we wrote our Children and Young People's Plan (CYPP) covering a three year period, which focuses on the priorities and actions that have been identified to make Islington a better place for children and young people to grow up, learn and work in. A summary version of the plan can be downloaded below, along with the full report and its appendices

The CYPP is reviewed in each year of its duration. With a wide range of partners, including children and young people themselves, the annual review reflects on progress made and identifies areas to work on for the next year. A full copy of the Annual Review for 2006/07 can be downloaded below.

Area Children And Young People's Partnership Profile

The Area Partnership Profile provides an analysis of information about children and young people in Islington, divided into the six Children and Young People's Partnership areas. The information contained in this profile will be regularly updated and further information added as the Partnerships’ develop their work. Suggestions or comments can be made to the Information & Performance Team. A full copy of this document can be downloaded below.
