SP3 A great start in life
We will give all our young people a great start in life in a safe, stable and healthy environment where they have the opportunity to develop, make choices and feel in control of their lives and future. This will be achieved through:
- Offering our young people and families, including those who are more vulnerable or have special educational needs, the right support at the right time, from their early years through adolescence and into successful adult life; and
- Delivering more childcare, school places and double the number of Southwark Scholarships; and
- Delivering a top quality children’s playground in every local area; and
- Providing free healthy school meals for primary schools and nurseries; and
- Investing in more early support for families; and
- Increasing library access; and
- Finding new ways to guarantee care and early education to help parents; and
- Encouraging developments where there can be more interaction between people of different ages, particularly elderly and young people; and:
- Ensure our residents and schools benefit from the digital revolution including improving access to superfast broadband.
