Torbay Council has launched an ambitious partnership with children’s charity the UK Committee for UNICEF (UNICEF UK), and local partners to support it becoming ‘Child Friendly’, and it needs your help to complete UNICEF’s survey. 

The council is one of eight local authorities taking part in UNICEF UK’s Child Friendly Cities & Communities programme, which will see it put children’s rights at the heart of all its work for children and young people as it works towards international recognition as a UNICEF Child Friendly Community. 

The programme is part of Child Friendly Cities – a global UNICEF initiative launched in 1996 that reaches more than 30 million children in over 40 countries.  

The first step towards becoming a UNICEF Child Friendly Community is the ‘Discovery Phase’, a six-month period during which councillors, council staff, the community, local voluntary and community sector partner organisations and children and young people will identify six priority areas, or ‘badges’, to guide our work over the coming years. 

Take the survey 

Please could you take this UNICEF survey, which should only take 5-10 minutes. 

Torbay Council will be providing further information on the project in due course – if you have any questions, please contact [email protected]
