The Devon Youth Participation Strategy
The Youth Participation Strategy for Devon forms a key part of the Council’s strategic priority of “Being ambitious for children and young people – where we aim for every child in Devon to have the best outcomes, to live an independent and healthy life and to achieve their full potential.” (DCC’s Strategic Plan 2021 – 2025).
This strategy will outline the way that we will do this. It has been developed by members of our Devon Youth Council and agreed in partnership with Devon Children’s Services workforce.

Devon’s Corporate Parenting strategy
Devon County Council’s commitment to see children and young people with care-experience flourish and thrive in Devon, believing that every child and young person in Devon should have the best possible start in life and the opportunity to thrive. All of Devon’s hard-working and dedicated staff and carers are committed to being the best possible corporate parents they can be. This is their plan of how they aim to do this together.
