PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
The impact of COVID continues to disrupt lrfe for us all and has changed life in many ways for many
people. Child development needs has not paused. and supporting children and families is arguably
now more important than ever.
Babies born after March 112020 wi15 have only known a world in the grip of a pandemK. They have
not had the same opportunities to interact with other children as those bom in the years before. We
don't yet know the full impact of the pandemic on children, young people and their families, but we are
seeing an increase in demand for services as we move into the next phase.
So, whilst the future remains uncertain, our commitment to provide responsive and high quality
services and supports for families remains steadfast and we are confident in our staff team, partners
and community that we can continue to give children the best start in life.
The directors will continue to govern the company in line with the constitution to achieve the objectives
noted above.
