Newport Children and Young People's Partnership

Newport Children and Young People's Partnership (CYPP) is a partnership of all agencies that contribute to the well-being of children, young people and their families in Newport.

To ensure that these things happen, the Partnership has developed the Newport Children and Young People's Plan 2008-11 / Cynllun Plant a Phobl Ifanc Casnewydd 2008-2011 (pdf)

This key strategic document sets out how the well-being of all children and young people in the area will be improved. It is based on the principles that:

parents and families are important and may need support
children need to be able to enjoy their childhood in a safe and caring environment
it is better to intervene early rather than leave things to develop into a crisis
children should be given a voice and listened to
