We are delighted to be able to share with you Bristol’s new One City Belonging Strategy 2021-24.
The strategy was officially launched by Deputy Mayor, Councillor Asher Craig, Cabinet Member for Children, Education and Equalities on the Monday 18 October 2021 at the Children and Young People’s One City Board.
Co-constructed with children, young people, parents and carers, as well as city partners, the new strategy explores the notion of ‘belonging’ and identifies what this means to Bristol’s children and young people.
The new strategy will deliver on the intentions of the Bristol One City Plan, the Bristol Children’s Charter and the Bristol Equality Charter. It has been developed by a cross directorate-working group to ensure consistency and shared outcomes across the four pillar strategies:
Thank you to everyone who has participated and worked with us to help shape and deliver this new, One City collective vision for Bristol’s children and young people.
This is an extremely important strategy for the all sectors to consider how they will deliver upon the vision and ambition it sets out – one of tackling inequality and becoming more inclusive in a way that ensures all of our children and young people succeed.
Please share the strategy across your agency and with those you work with. Use the links and suggested social posts and images for you to promote via your networks.
Please use the hashtag #BristolOneCity
A new documentary film featuring the young people who helped contribute to the new strategy, by exploring what ‘belonging’ means to them at workshops held by Bristol Old Vic, has also been released to the mark the launch.
The film will be featured on the Millennium Square screen in Bristol city centre, and you can also see the film here: One City Belonging Strategy Documentary - YouTube
