Vision for Children & Young People

Councillor Catherine DonovanOur Sustainable Community Strategy vision for Gateshead is:

“Local people realising their full potential enjoying the best quality of life in a healthy, equal, safe, prosperous and sustainable Gateshead”.

Within this our vision for children and young people is for them to be:

“Empowered and supported to develop their full potential and have the life skills and opportunities to play a full and active part in society”

We want all children and young people to:

  • Be Healthy
  • Stay Safe
  • Enjoy and Achieve
  • Make a Positive Contribution
  • Achieve Economic Wellbeing

Our Children and Young People’s Plan sets out our strategic priorities around what we need to do to achieve this vision.

Our Change for Children Programme is an ambitious programme of change to make sure services are arranged in the right way to give us the best possible chance of helping children and young people to achieve these outcomes
