Go Blue for World Children’s Day!
Today
is the launch our Child Friendly Cardiff Strategy to coincide with World
Children’s Day. Creating a child friendly city and communities is about a
genuine and enduring commitment to children’s rights. It’s about creating and
sustaining places where the voices, needs, priorities and rights of children
are an integral part of public policies, programmes and decisions. The launch
of #ChildFriendlyCDF will take place later today at City Hall – which will be
lit up blue to celebrate World Children’s Day. Attendees will include eight
Rights Respecting Schools in Cardiff with Cabinet Member for Education,
Employment & Skills and Deputy Leader Cllr Sarah Merry, Director of
Education Nick Batchelar and Chair of Health Board Maria Battle speaking at the
event. The event will also feature a special performance from schools of a
self-penned song.
