About the Children, Young People and Families’ Plan 2024 to 2027
The Children and Young People's Plan is a plan for Jersey’s children, young people and families, which aims to make sure Jersey is the best place to grow up and improve everyday lives.
The 2024 to 2027 Children, Young People and Families’ plan was published in May 2024. It is the second plan of its kind, following the
2019 to 2023 launch.
The creation and publication of the plan was a recommendation of the Independent Jersey Care Inquiry in 2017. The panel recommended that the plan was written in a way that is understood by children and young people.
