We’re continuing to build on the work of our #PlanetYouth Angus initiative. Over the coming months, we’ll be sharing new local data with parents & carers through schools & events, helping build a clearer picture of the experiences and wellbeing of young people in Angus.

The report outlines how we’re making sure children and young people’s rights are respected across our services and the steps we’re taking to strengthen this commitment. We’ll work with young people to create a child-friendly version of the report. #Children'sRights

As we celebrate #NationalChildrensDayUK today, we’re pleased to share our first Children’s Rights Report 2024–2026 - orlo.uk/EGXRQ
