Children and Young People's Plan

Over the past year, we’ve developed our draft Isles of Scilly Children and Young People’s Plan 2026-2029 to help focus efforts to respond to the needs of local families over the next 3 years. We’ve spent this time listening to the views of children and young people, and to those who care for and work with them, in order to capture a wide range of themes and perspectives and reflect them in our draft. Our draft plan can be downloaded from the bottom of this page.

On 21 April 2026, we launched a wider public consultation on the draft plan. You can respond to this consultation by completing our survey by noon on Thursday 2 June 2026.

Next steps

Responses to the survey will be analysed and used to shape the final draft of Isles of Scilly Children and Young People’s plan. This draft will then be presented to Full Council for approval in June.

Once approved, this important plan will be embedded in every aspect of our service delivery, both internally and with our partner organisations, in order to help drive the improvements for all of our children, young people and families.
