- families, services and the broader community work together to ensure children are safe at all times and have access to services
- children have access to environments and services to improve their health and wellbeing
- children have opportunities to connect with other children, to their family, to their community and to the environment they live in
- children’s voices are heard through consultation in planning and implementation of programs.
