The Children and Young People's Strategy and Improvement Plan seeks to provide the framework for the delivery of children and young people's services across Defence. The Plan aims to co-ordinate and concentrate the efforts of a broad range of organisations which contribute to the well-being of Service children and young people.
Learning and Play
One of DCYP's top priorities is to ensure access for children and young people to a range of learning pathways so that they are able to meet the challenges of adulthood.
Ensuring the safety, security and protection of children and young people.
DCYP are striving to ensure the work carried out by Ministry of Defence agencies connected to children and young people is in line with relevant safeguarding policies.
Recognising issues surrounding separation
We are working with Ministry of Defence, Service Children's Education overseas, Other Government Departments and various charities who are involved in all aspects of supporting children and young people. This work includes tackling the various challenges experienced by children and young people separated from a parent or family member who is deployed on operational duties.
