The provision of locally accessible support for young children and their families, in partnership with key agencies and local community organisations through Sure Start Children's Centres within extended primary schools offers opportunities for significantly enhancing the life chances of Medway's youngest citizens, particularly those living in more disadvantaged communities. The proposals are fully consistent with Medway's Children & Young People's Plan, and will be delivered within financial resources available in ring-fenced government grant.The publishing of public notices allows a period of six weeks in which any objections may be formally lodged.
