Coventry's Baby Week 2024 demonstrated the city's commitment to creating a nurturing, inclusive, and supportive environment for families, aligning with the "Be & Feel Loved" pledge of the Child Friendly Cov initiative. 

The feedback from the Coventry One Big Voice survey has been collated and analysed and has directly informed the Child Friendly Cov priorities for 2024/25 which you can find below.

Children and young people across Coventry were given the opportunity to help shape the direction of children’s services in the city in the Coventry One Big Voice survey completed in schools earlier this year.

Child Friendly Cov, in collaboration with West Midlands Police, is proud to announce the launch of the Safe Spaces project.

As the festive season unfolded, Child Friendly Cov saw an outpouring of generosity from compassionate companies dedicated to making a difference in the lives of care leavers. 

Child Friendly Cov and Coventry Rocks have joined forces to champion a variety of activities, events and groups taking place in the city.

Coventry celebrated its inaugural Baby Week, an event dedicated to celebrating and supporting the city's youngest residents during the most vital phase of their lives.

The University of Warwick, E.ON and Child Friendly Cov recently hosted the inaugural Pupil Parliament event, welcoming over 50 children and their teachers from 16 different primary schools across Coventry.

Child Friendly Cov made a significant impact at this year's Motofest event, as e.on extended a special invitation to young people, providing them with a unique opportunity to explore and engage with their displays.

This summer Coventry City Council have their biggest ever Holiday Activities and Food programme, with approximately 150 different activities and experiences - all with a meal provided.

The #ChildFriendlyCov team will be at Godiva Festival with our mascot on Saturday and Sunday! and we will be giving a £50 Amazon voucher to the person that helps us #NameThePhoenix!

Local author Aaron Ashmore has partnered with Coventry City Council to gift copies of his book, ‘Lady Godiva's Birthday Suit’ to every child in the city who is living in care on their birthday.

A Child Friendly Cov launch event took place in February at St Mary’s Guildhall to celebrate the launch of project with Councillors, staff, young people and partner organisations in attendance.

The four Child Friendly Cov pledges are the backbone of the project and underpin the work taking place to make Coventry the best city in the UK for children and young people to grow up and live in.
