This consultation has closed.

Staff will now undertake analysis and report back to Council.



Background

Council has been working with children and schools to develop a new Children’s Policy. Policies are like rules and the Community can expect Councils to follow its policies. Council is a registered Child Friendly City. This means the Council believes children play an important role in our Community.

Our new Children’s Policy aims to:

  • Connect children with their local Community
  • Make our local Community somewhere children feel safe
  • Gather the feedback of children on topics which interest them.

What is in the policy?

Our new Children’s Policy is written differently to our other policies. It is written from the perspective of a child.

Council asked children about what is important to them. These are included in the policy as Principles.

The policy contains the commitments that Council makes to all children. These include:

  • To develop a Child Friendly Campbelltown Plan
  • To provide quality outdoor places and spaces
  • To provide activities and programs
  • To value children in decision making
  • To support children and families

How you can get involved:

We are interested in hearing feedback from anyone who lives, works, or plays in the City of Campbelltown. You are welcome to tell us what you support, what you think should be changed or improved, or if you think we have missed something.
