Cardiff was recognised by Unicef UK for the work the council and other agencies have done to improve services, facilities and access to support for children and young people in the Welsh capital.
The programme is part of Child Friendly Cities - a global Unicef initiative launched in 1996 that reach more than 30 million children in over 40 countries - which was established to improve children's rights.
Cardiff Council has been part of the programme since 2017 and has worked with young people in six key areas, including:
Cooperation and Leadership
Communication
Culture
Health
Family and Belonging
Education and Learning.
The city implemented schemes and projects to ensure that young people had the best life outcomes, which led to impressive results, including the fact that 42,254 children and young people were able to access early help and support since April 2019 via the new Family Support Gateway.
