Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service is committed to the safety, education and wellbeing of children and young people and with reducing the impact of fire and fire crime. We work with a wide range of local and regional organisations including The Children's Trust, Children and Young People's Services and local authorities' Commmunity Safety Strategies.

The Children and Young People's Plan sets out how we aim to improve the lives of children and young people. We will work in all five of the key outcome areas of the Every Child Matters agenda to enable children and young people to:

	Be Healthy
	Stay Safe (This document links to the PDF on the Shropshire County Council website. View page 21 - Safe from accidental injury and death) (PDF 5.9Mb | 5900 Kb)
	Enjoy and Achieve
	Make a Positive Contribution
	Achieve Economic Well-Being

Aim: Creating safe, healthy and vibrant neighbourhoods with access for all to economic, social, democratic and educational activities through the development of empowered and inclusive communities.

The Community Wellbeing chapter looks at people and the main themes that influence everybody's quality of life - health, safety and feeling cared about and valued.
