Sure Start Children's Centres priorities

Proposal

This consultation relates to the Children's Centres in the North of Shropshire only.

Have your say in how we take your services forward...

Sure Start Children's Centres are looking at our priorities for 2014-2015. We think they should be:

  • To increase the number of families that use Sure Start Children's Centres
  • To make sure that families get extra support when they need it most
  • To support babies and children's learning and development, and help parents, carers and others to do this
  • To involve you more in developing Children's Centre services to meet the needs of those of your community
  • To encourage healthy lifestyles and support families to keep themselves safe and healthy

We have a short survey where you can let us know what you think about these priorities and we encourage as many people to get involved as possible.  Click on the get involved tab to let us know what you think.

  • Further development of our Parent Representatives and Community Champions to provide a clear role in how parents and carers can become more involved in their local community.
  • Further development of our digital media and website.
  • Continue to provide free groups and activities for families with young children all year round to help children to have a safe, happy and healthy family life.

Other consultations which might interest you

Cosford – 30mph Speed Limit

The introduction of a 30mph speed limit along Worcester Road West aims to improve the safety of pedestrians, cyclists and other road users travelling between Cosford Train station and the RAF Cosford museum. The speed limit changes will facilitate the introduction of a 2m wide footway that is to be installed on the south side of the carriageway, as currently pedestrians walk along the verge. With the reduced speed limit, cyclists will be able to cycle on the carriageway more safely. The proposals are being implemented following assessment of vehicle speed data and pedestrian movements between the train station and the museum, both during term time and in the school holidays. The proposals are being implemented along Neachley Lane and Long Lane in order maintain a continuous 30mph speed limit in the vicinity of the museum and air base.
