Lambeth Safeguarding Children Partnership

Child Friendly Initiative

Lambeth’s ambition for all children and young people is that it should be one of the best places in the world for them people to grow up, providing a rich mix of relationships, experiences, opportunities, and services that enable children and young people from all backgrounds and communities to thrive. To support this, Lambeth are part of UNICEF UK’s Child Friendly Cities programme to become an accredited child friendly borough. Our ambition is to become a child friendly community where the voices, needs, priorities and rights of children and young people are an integral part of public policies, programmes, and decisions. Where children and young people have a real say in the decisions that affect their lives. Lambeth is ambitious every day for every child; putting young people and their families at the heart of what we do.
