Youth and Family programme
In June 2007, the Youth and Family programme was published. The programme represents a new approach by the government: one which uses coordination, cooperation and a focus on the common good for the benefit of young people and families.
The Youth and Family programme is a programme that:
- accords the family its rightful place in society
- focuses on prevention by identifying and tackling problems earlier
- imposes binding commitments on all stakeholders
The programme states clearly the aims of child-rearing for all children, regardless of cultural background or physical capabilities:
- Healthy upbringing: physical and mental well-being, healthy lifestyle, continuity of upbringing and care.
- Safe upbringing: security: unconditional love, respect, attention, boundaries, structure and regularity, a safe home (free from violence, mistreatment and sexual abuse) and a safe outdoor environment.
- Contributing to society: social engagement: contributing ideas and taking part, active involvement in the local community, positive attitude and citizenship.
- Developing talents and having fun: being educated or trained, opportunity to pursue hobbies: sport, culture and leisure pursuits, and freedom to play.
- Being properly prepared for the future: obtaining a qualification, finding employment, capacity to earn a living, access to a stimulating environment.
The government wants all children to enjoy these opportunities.
