We believe that every community in our society should provide the context for a network of inclusive and accessible services that:

• Support children, young people and their families
• Promote a sense of ownership over local neighbourhoods
• Provide spaces for civic involvement and democratic renewal.

Children and young people should be given genuine and meaningful opportunities to contribute to their communities and their services, so as to be able to develop the competencies necessary to become active, engaged and responsible citizens.
