Our vision is for Dudley to be a wonderful place for children and young people to grow up. We are aspiring to be Child Friendly Dudley, ‘It takes all of us to raise a child’ where we understand that all people and partners need to work together to create an environment where children and young people can flourish help them face life’s challenges and realise their hopes and dreams.

Let’s give our children and young people a fair chance in life by keeping them:

​

• Safe, cared for, healthy, happy, educated, valued, welcomed

•  In an environment full of fun and opportunity, where they have a say.

 

 We know there is a depth and breadth of support available for children and young people across the borough from the public, private independent and voluntary sectors. However, understanding exactly what is available at any given time isn't always so easy, particularly when this support is usually required at the time of crisis.
