Best Start in Life Plan

Best start local plan for Torbay

Our Vision and approach

Our vision is that every child in Torbay has the best possible start in life, where they can grow up safe, happy, healthy, learning well, and connected to a strong community.

Together with families and partners across all sectors, we are committed to closing gaps in early development and ensuring that more children are ready for school and confident to learn. We will achieve this by delivering joined up, preventative, and relationship-based support from pregnancy to age five.

By understanding where the gaps are, we will remove barriers, strengthen early identification of need, and offer support to families at the earliest opportunity, including those who feel un-heard and underrepresented. Together, we will create the conditions where every child can thrive, develop with confidence, and be ready for school and lifelong learning
